Only one more pack and then it's time for a retrospective!
The 26 retrospective cards will be references to past cards with the same cornervalue letter.
My only previous Retrospective was in the 3801-3900 archive page.
The new Retrospective covers the period from "The Cycle Completes" (#8133) to Tamorisian Boon (#9431)
Zero max hand size is a logical loss condition, but the hand size reducers need to spell it out.
I believe Penumbral Pendulum (#8254) is still the only use of upside-down text in the Infinite Dvorak deck.
Now we need a Brass Monster with an artifacty attack.
Looks like I repeated the nine K corner values. Oops.
Chamber Maid swiped the 0M cornervalue instead of 9M for Love Letter compatibility. She shouldn't outrank the Guard.
The R pack had Money token costs equal to their corner digit. Therefore, 0R doesn't destroy the money.
If I ever do a major retrospective again, I'll alternate between retro and non-retro. Delaying my riff cards for weeks feels bad.
I am open to suggestions for a new cornervalue pattern for next cycle.
No suggestions? More of the same, then.
This card has had multiple flavortexts, and they're all valid! I'll list them when it's archived.

Bucky's Chat Room alternate flavortexts

Only one more pack and then it's time for a retrospective!

The 26 retrospective cards will be references to past cards with the same cornervalue letter.

My only previous Retrospective was in the 3801-3900 archive page.

The new Retrospective covers the period from "The Cycle Completes" (#8133) to Tamorisian Boon (#9431)

Zero max hand size is a logical loss condition, but the hand size reducers need to spell it out.

I believe Penumbral Pendulum (#8254) is still the only use of upside-down text in the Infinite Dvorak deck.

Now we need a Brass Monster with an artifacty attack.

Looks like I repeated the nine K corner values. Oops.

Chamber Maid swiped the 0M cornervalue instead of 9M for Love Letter compatibility. She shouldn't outrank the Guard.

The R pack had Money token costs equal to their corner digit. Therefore, 0R doesn't destroy the money.

If I ever do a major retrospective again, I'll alternate between retro and non-retro. Delaying my riff cards for weeks feels bad.

I am open to suggestions for a new cornervalue pattern for next cycle.

No suggestions? More of the same, then.

This card has had multiple flavortexts, and they're all valid! I'll list them when it's archived.
