[Elephant Parade]

I draw five cards to start the game.



Hmm, not a great hand. In that case, I'll just get rid of it! I activate Call of the Grave, discarding Fainting Goat, Wail of the Banshee, Resurrection Man, and Frankenstein!





(3, 1, 3, 4) I gain two stars and draw a card! You must discard a card! Also, I activate Wail of the Banshee's on-discard effect, forcing you to give me a card at the start of your next turn!

I end my turn.

Field: Empty
Discard Pile: Fainting Goat, Wail of the Banshee, Resurrection Man, Frankenstein, Call of the Grave
Stars: 2
Hearts: 20
Hand: 1 (?)

[Elephant Parade]

Correction: Discarding a card is Call of the Grave's second listed discard effect. Its first effect is to make the opponent lose 2 Hearts. So rather than discarding a card, you lose 2 Hearts.

"Bonjour, for it is I, Random Gal. Have a fruit. And a Roomba for me."



Field: Evil Roomba 1/3
Discard Pile:
Stars: 1
Hearts: 18
Hand: 4

(Pretty quick to toss your hand away. I roomba it.)

[Elephant Parade]

Wait, shouldn't you have three cards in your hand? You started with five, gave me one, and played another.

[TricMagic]

A reminder we draw a card at the start of the turn.

[Elephant Parade]

Oh, is the first turn not an exception to that? Do you actually start play with six cards in your hand?

[TricMagic]

Yes, Rule 3. there isn't a rule against drawing on the first turn. Or one for attacking on the first turn.

[Elephant Parade]

Well, most cards can't attack on the turn they're played anyway. How should we correct this? I'm fine just drawing an extra card this turn, if that works for you.

[TricMagic]

Perfectly fine.

.... As a side note, how many wails do you have?

[Elephant Parade]

Just the one, of course.


I play Verdant Growth, adding two cards to my hand, then Toxic Fruit. That roomba must go!



Then I end my turn. The top card of my deck is Shipwreck Hermit:



Field: Toxic Fruit (4/1)
Discard Pile: Fainting Goat, Wail of the Banshee, Resurrection Man, Frankenstein, Call of the Grave, Verdant Growth
Stars: 1
Hearts: 20
Hand: 4

[TricMagic]

Discard Shipwreck Hermit

"It is I, Random Gal. And I have Honey!"



"This boosts the hearts and attack of my other cards, giving my Roomba the honeyfuel to survive. It attacks the toxic fruit. For the Bees!"

Field: Evil Roomba 2 Attack, 2/6 Hearts
Discard Pile: Toxic Fruit
Stars: 0
Hearts: 18
Hand: 4

[Elephant Parade]

My toxic fruit dies and reduces your Roomba to 2 Hearts. Is that the end of your turn?

[TricMagic]

Yep. This is Random Gal, bringing the random decks.

[Elephant Parade]

I play Generous Gift:



You get an Unlimited Maid Works. Hope that comes in handy! I gain 6 Stars. Then, I play Frankenstein for 5 stars, selecting Shipwreck Hermit, Resurrection Man, and Toxic Fruit from my discard pile:





The resulting creature is a 6/10 with the following effects:

• When this is attacked, draw a card.
• Once per turn you may select a card with hearts from any discard pile and remove it from the game. Gain stars equal to the selected card's hearts minus its star cost.
• Decrease a card's hearts by double the difference between its current hearts and its original hearts.

I activate Frankenstein's on-play effect from Toxic Fruit to deal 6 damage to Evil Roomba, killing it! Then, I activate its once-per turn effect from Resurrection Man to exile Evil Roomba and gain 3 stars!

Field: Frankenstein (6/10: Shipwreck Hermit, Resurrection Man, Toxic Fruit)
Discard Pile: Fainting Goat, Wail of the Banshee, Frankenstein, Call of the Grave, Verdant Growth
Exiled: Resurrection Man, Shipwreck Hermit, Toxic Fruit
Stars: 5
Hearts: 20
Hand: 2

[Elephant Parade]

(Just noticed Frankenstein can target cards without heart values. That's not really ideal—it's thematically weird, unfitting of the intended effect, and a little overpowered.)
