From Dvorak - A Blank-Card Game
Jump to navigationJump to search

Feet of clay, boots of gold.

I'm making a Card-Editing Booster Pack, from cards in the Infinite Dvorak Deck, heavy on rules about editing and not editing, that could be played on its own or supplement any themed deck.

Here are my cards for the Infinite Dvorak Deck. Comments are very welcome on the Talk page (this one, or the IDD talk page). I am aiming for interesting, non-overpowered cards, and I would be grateful for any spelling or grammar corrections, or neat shorter ways to phrase my longer card texts.
