No there are no limits to your hand size like in MTG. Which is great cos that'd just take too long to admin discarding down to 6 or something.

Nice thread here. I'd like to add something. Card count is great, but bronto-count is better. So, what is a bronto? A bronto is a group of card that share the exact same purpose in a deck. For instance, Plentiful Crop and Forced Inheritance forms a bronto. What does it means? It means that you can increase probabilities and have a more reliable strategies by bronto-counting your cards instead of seeing them one by one. So, in our exemple we have Forced Inheritance and Plentiful Crop in 5 copies each in your sequence. It means that you have now 10 ressources boosters (you can give names to your brontos of course). Let's add to this 5 Divine Intervention, and you now have 15 ressources boosters in your deck. Of course, the same card can be in many different brontos. Here, Divine Intervention is not only in your bronto named "ressource boosters" but also in a second bronto called "discard power". In this second bronto, you will also find 5 Mysterious Strangers and 3 Let He Who Is Without Sin. Last point, don't be affraid to use cards in single or double copy if they belong to a bigger bronto. For instance, you want to build a deck that wins with Lair of Romulus. You play 5 of them but after a few games, you find that you don't draw them frequently enough. As 5 is the max you can have, you can create a bronto named "fat sites", put your 5 Lairs in it, and add 1 or 2 Ospedale Degli Innocenti so you won't lack of finishers anymore. You don't want to play 3 of each, as Lair is faster than the hospital. But they have the same impact on the game, and can share the same bronto. With this advanced method of counting cards for deck building, you will have awesome decks. Allowing you to play your cards in much more various and efficient ways. Feel free to discuss.  |

Hey, did you read far enough in the original post to get to "sharing"? Same idea man but I like the way you describe it, I'm gonna coin the term "shares", like a share in Big Sites or a share in Income Boosting or a share in Sexy Big 10 cost agents  |

"Bronto" is the first part of the name of a big stupid dinosaure and "beuf" is the mispelled french (should be "boeuf") for Beef. It was the name of a very stupid and very strong NPC in a RPG I played a lot. The misspell is just here to say "he's so stupid that even his name is stupid". I just took it after on a game where I played a STR oriented char and kept the name atfer that by affection.
