I think that Inv would be fun to have a challenge based around the Phobia cards for example, like Photophobia, making it hard to survive on the Shaded Citadel he starts in, Hydrophobia, and all others (Iirc, there were more). Could also make it's mission to find Echo's just like in the campaign.

"Worst road trip ever"

Inv-specific mission. It's like the artificer & hunter mission in that you only choose buffs at the beginning and dont add any as you go. Multiplier and upgradation are mandatory buffs for the mission. The only mission requirement is that you have to get the wanderer passage

No free pick, no card draws, spawn in Pipeyard

Bomb Mania

Swim with a swim boosting buff for 1000m

not a new mission so much as a change to a pre-existing mission: modify doom express so you also permanently carry waterworld and corruption spread

"aerial combat"

tail-copter
blessing of the stone
armed king
that one that makes their harpoons home in on the player then explode
still my turn
that one that makes them reload really fast

kill 3 king vultures
complete in less than 20 deaths

"gourmond plus"

start: gourmond
food lover
nut bowling
desolate dive
more food
slow chewer

mission goals:
if there is one for completing gourmonds food quest that one would be good
earn the wanderer passage
a different food quest that i hope exists but i cant remember because there is a lot of cards

(Decided to edit it to hopefully actually make it playable / fun)
