Change “that Wizard A will trade one card in their hand for one card in Wizard B’s hand” to

that Wizard A will trade zero or more cards in their hand for zero or more cards in Wizard B’s hand

against Trading becomes too powerful if one player can agree to dump all of their cards into an accomplice’s hand, for free, repeatedly. I assumed this was a declare-then-swap mechanic (rather than a “wizards may give cards to each other at any time, sort it out yourselves”) to avoid exactly that.

Without wanting to peanut too hard, pooling stuff into another person to make them win is admittedly quite common.

Although I believe we all mostly already know that from experience, except the newer players (hello and welcome to you guys btw!).

Yep, picking and pooling doesn’t really make sense for this game.
