Foresight - Legendary - non-goilded
Action - Unique
At the start of the game this card is placed in your hand.
If you have 25 or more cards in your deck, choose up to 5 of them, they are then removed from the game as well as this card.
Chain if your deck has at least 36 cards as this card activates.

Please, comment and help to make balance of the card better - I think, it is a propper place to do so.

maybe if you help me, what is the utillity of this card?

This card may be used to remove unnesesary cards from your deck, like Settlement of scores against warriors and Obesity against mages. Moreover, Iа your deck has more than 1 plan of victory, this card may help you to quicker gain cards for the chosen one.

I really like the idea behind this card, the only problem: we do not need it.

I might be wrong, but "Foresight" seems to thin your deck out, just to increase the percentage of drawing favorable answers for a given threat...
...but why should a "competitive" player use a card that restricts him to use a strictly worse deck?

For "Foresight" to be effective one needs to have at least a 30 card deck. Furthermore this deck cannot have any "come into play" cards, which attach themselves to characters at the start of the game, nor should any of your characters be able to increase your handsize. If you would try to add a card, that would lower the card count in your deck you must add a card to your deck.

So in order to thin out the deck you need to increase the deck size with at least 50% more cards. Wouldn't that be contradict with you intentions?

To add up to the uselessness as a deck-thinner "Foresight" chains at turn one, if you have a 41 card deck. Without this quantity of cards foresight ends up being a free turn for your opponent. And even if would play all legendary cantrips in the game, how often do you start with one in your opening five?

...well, "Foresight" at its current state is nowhere near legendary status... It is rather a bad common... Sorry.

But enough trash talk, even if this card would never see competitive use in the top meta decks.

Why do I still like it. I am guilty of being a filthy casual σ(^_^;)

I am trying to find players, who would join me building a singleton Eredan community.
In other words people that enjoy playing 50 cards decks with each card being a single copy... (Please, excuse my shameless advertisement)

To make sense of my side note:

Decks that are already created with the idea to use the max. capacity, carddraw, recyclers and deck/hand manipulation become a necessity.
And that's the place, where this card could be useful.

Well, could... Not should.

"Foresight" is an action, that tries hard to be a good mental spell.
But it fails to do so... Well, okay there are only few of them in the game and most of them never see play... Which is a pity, but Eredan Itcg has no place for the utility magic mental spells provide.
Same goes for your card.

And why?

They do not have an effect on the board state, but rather affect the way you want to reach your long term goal.
But for such effects to be useful they need a built in upside. Are such upside absent, you are just stalling yourself, while giving the opponent a free turn.

What does your card do?

45-36 cards: accelerates your mid/late game by cutting out dead draws.
35-25 cards: accelerates your late game in exchange for a skipped turn.
24-00 cards: dead card.

...cute, a card that gets strictly worse, unless I play it in the early states of the game. Preferably turn 1-3, when still have little to no input on the deck my opponent plays.
Maybe, he/she is still digging for more pieces, what singleton players often do.
But when your opponent is hitting your face right from the get go, what use does this card have?

None, like most mental spells and those are not even legendary.

Let "Foresight" look at the top cards instead of letting it search the deck.

{Look at the top six cards of your deck. You may choose up to one card and play it after all other cards, put the rest into your discardpile. At the end of turn, remove "Foresight" from the game, instead of putting it somewhere else.}

Foresight its turn restriction, but at a lower deck size. Never change it to a spell type or it gets broken. And here you have thinner with upside...
And yes I know it is similar to , it actually better version for larger decks filling a different niche.

But I would appreciate if you ignore my idea, in favor of one that suits your expectations of your "Foresight".


All in all: Interesting idea on a pretty bad card. d(￣ ￣) keep it up.

same as grief

1º playability: has to be in the first hand of a large deck = hard to use
2º effectiveness: there is no real impact in the current turn and maybe in the next rounds because playing 1 less card kills yourself = ruins your current and future rounds, we have cards like this are they arent great because you cant stop the enemy from kick your a** while playing tech cards


maybe you can add to you card "add this card at your hand at the start of the game, if you deck has 24 or more cards, choose up to 5 of them, they are then removed from the game as well as this card."
or even better add "attach this card to one of your characters at the start of the game, if you deck has 24 or more cards, choose up to 5 of them, they are then removed from the game as well as this card."

what we have to consider is we already had/have turn 1 combos granted by the offsprings in directe damage courtiers or the nerfed lightning courtier, if we reduce even more the -20 cards decks, this will be a disaster

The card already puts itself into your hand due to state based actions...

The main idea was to help large decks to balance their drows. Maybe this variant will be better:
Foresight - Legendary - non-goilded
Action - Unique
At the start of the game this card is attached to one of your characters. Duration 3 turns.
Фе the start of your turn, If you have 25 or more cards in your deck, choose one of them, your deck is shuffled and this card is then placed on top of it.

Know I need help... Does the effect trigger before the drawstep or after it?

Does the Eredan Decks actually remember the order the cards are in or is what card you draw rng?
