Talk:April Fools deck

Welcome!

As described, a deck full of wacky pranks, inspired by the "April Fools!" link on the front page on April Fools day... 10 days ago. Anyway. I've credited two cards to other people, and there's possibly more that I've unknowingly assimilated. Feel free to point them out if you want; credit where credit is due and all that.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? All are welcome. Jtwe 22:18, 11 April 2007 (BST)

Chinese Finger Trap

Thing

When this card comes into play, give control of it to any player.
You may not play Actions. If you take any damage, destroy this card.

Card by Bucky

Very nice. Thanks! Jtwe 15:50, 12 April 2007 (BST)

Saran Wrapped Door

Thing

You may put this card into play at any time. If a card played by an opponent would cause damage to you, it destroys Saran Wrapped Door instead.

Good one! I took the liberty of restricting it to Actions to differentiate it from Banana Peel. Jtwe 16:18, 13 April 2007 (BST)

Action: Draw a card

"Action: Draw a card." tends to be a lot more powerful than people expect it to be, for what it's worth. Drawing two cards a turn can put a player into a much stronger position. --Kevan 16:00, 12 April 2007 (BST)

I wanted to have at least one card in the deck that just did its thing without having to jump through hoops, but you're probably right. I'll try draw one, then discard one - it's useful and simple, but not as powerful. Jtwe 17:05, 12 April 2007 (BST)

Sardines in the Air Vent

Wouldn't this card cause an infinite loop? "Don't want it, swap." "Ooh, you just made a swap, swap." "So did you! Swap." etc. etc. --BM 15:58, 18 April 2007 (BST)

It says "if this card is in your hand". --Kevan 16:29, 18 April 2007 (BST)

Sorry, I thought I read through it well, but I guess I didn't notice. --BM 01:21, 4 May 2007 (BST)
