The Down effect requiring a second person to make a choice as part of its effect makes things weird. I play this card on you, but you’re asleep and won’t be checking the game for another eight hours. What happens?

It could work if it was something like: “If target wizard doesn’t discard a card within two days, all cards in their hand are put in the deck.”

Well, we don’t have a “deck” (instead the cards would be simply removed from their hand), but you know what I mean, right?

One of the hardest parts about blognomic is the weird format. Many game mechanics that make sense face to face don’t work here, mostly because of timing issues. This dynasty is even harder because we’re working on a game mechanic that is well understood in face to face play but not in the blognomic format.

I suspect you could say “A wizard of your choosing must discard a card before they may play any cards.” But even that might run afoul of the “All variables must be tracked or calculated” principle.

Thanks for suggesting cards though. We need all that we can get!
