#9500

Card by JakeTheWolfie

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.
