Proposal: Queens of the New Age

Quorums 4-0. — Quirck

Adminned at 26 Nov 2015 16:42:50 UTC

Add the following new cards to the list in “Drawing”, immediately before the first Arcana Card:-

  • Queen of Cups - While active, a Reader may replace a Cup card in their Discards with an Unrevealed Major Arcana card.
  • Queen of Wands - While active, if a Reader would gain Auras from a Divination, they may gain 1 additional Aura of their choice.
  • Queen of Pentacles - While active, a Reader with the Aura of Health may gain the Aura of Power.
  • Queen of Swords - While active, a Reader required to randomly select something (excluding the act of drawing a Card) may instead do so non-randomly.
  • The High Priestess - While active, if they have not done so since the most recent Drawing of a Card, a Reader may Cast their Power Card: if that Card has any effect when drawn or when it becomes inactive, those effects occur (in the order they appear on the card) upon Casting it.

Then, in “Face Values”, replace “If a Card’s name is of the format “X of Y”, where X is not a number, then its Rank is 13 and its Suit is Y.” with:-

If a Card’s name is of the format “X of Y”, where X is not a number, then its Rank is 11 (if X is the word “Page”), 12 (if X is “Queen”) or 13 (if X is any other value), and its Suit is Y.

Then, in “Face Values”, replace “All other cards have a Rank of 14 and a Suit of “Arcana”.” with “All other cards have a Rank of 14 and a Suit of “Major Arcana”.”

Tacking on the royalty rank clause, and clarifying what the Major Arcana is (the term is used by the Hanged Man, but not defined).

imperial Wheel of Fortune is still not a Major Arcana

Poor old Wheel of Fortune. This at least makes it the 13-point King of its own suit.
