I have only been playing this game for a short time and these two dynamics as a system for governing what cards do would be interesting, With the Devil element cards, you must honor the contract by fulfilling its criteria...or else. Very much in line with making a deal with the Devil, so to speak. And Divine Blessings card element, using these cards can alter a situation more in your favor and wont stab you in the back later, however you must give willingly for the plan to work. A modifier like this would be pretty interesting.
#Faustian Contract and Divine Blessings elements

Do you have any examples of this idea?

For Faustian contracts, you would have to make a specific play, and do so in the current round you are playing in, like making a Flush or a Straight(or otherwise not easy to get scoring hand) and you'll get a HUGE bonus to your multiplier, or else you lose something...important.
As for Heaven's Blessings, You make the choice to sacrifice something important, and score above a certain threshold, and you gain either permanent bonuses in the run, or gain critical successes on subsequent hands
You want to make Faustian Contract options terrifying but tantalising, will you go all in on the deal, or will you lose your soul for a hint of possible success?
Heaven's Blessings are more of a choice, no harm in disregarding them if you're fine with just a very minor blessing free of charge
