CCDD 012314—Sever Ties

Cool Card Design of the Day
1/23/2014 - In his article today, Jacob Van Lunen wrote "Being able to interact with the opponent's board on the same turn we clear out his or her hand is almost always going to result in victory." I didn't want to mess with "Discard X and sacrifice X" but I did want to explore in the space of potentially killing cards in play as well as in hand.
