Reached quorum 4 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Add the following new cards to the list in “Drawing”, immediately after the “zero” cards:-

  • Ace of Cups - When active, if a Reader would Draw a Card and there are any Unrevealed Cup Cards, a random card is not selected and a random Unrevealed Cup Card is drawn instead.
  • Ace of Wands - When active, all Unrevealed cards are considered to have a Rank one lower than their printed Rank.
  • Ace of Pentacles - When drawn, the Reader drawing it selects a random Suit and a random Rank from 3 to 10: if no card exists of that Rank and Suit, that card is added to the list of cards, with an effect of “Has no effect.”.
  • Ace of Swords - When active, no Reader may pass the role of High Arcanist to another Reader after a successful DoV.

After “If a Card’s name is of the format “X of Y”, where X is a number, then its Rank is X and its Suit is Y.” add:-

(The word “Ace” is considered to be a number equal to 1.)

And to the end of that paragraph, add:

A Card’s “printed” Rank and Suit are those recorded in this rule.

Was just trying to think of something that fitted the Ace of Swords meaning. It’s perhaps not very interesting in this context.
