Cardart

Card Details

  • Card art was done by Shuryou Gospel.
  • The total boost to each stat is usually equal to the number of cards drawn or milled from your deck.
  • With card stealing and Recycling, it's possible to end up with a larger deck than you started with, making it decrease stats instead of decrease stats.
  • After using Mind Swap, Down to the Wire uses the new current decksize, but your original total decksize. If your deck was far larger than the opponent's, this generally means much larger boosts.
  • On the rare occasions when this is used with Miasma Factory in play, it is often forgotten that there will be a life loss, causing an extra 15 attack to be lost.
