Burning Hand

[jolly cove]

At end of round, destroy the rightmost card held in hand
(Or random card in hand, but I think random is too punishing)

CHALLENGE??

this could be a joker and id take it every time

[jolly cove]

But as a challenge, would that be good?

Or should it be random card

[wintry flume]

no

stop right there

please someone explain that

destroying cards is a good thing

[jolly cove]

Fair enough

[wintry flume]

that should be an unwritten rule

its why immolate is so good

gain money AND destroy cards

[craggy sleet]

This is like, challenge, you get eternal negative trading card and an extra discard.

[jolly cove]

So... what about jokers?

[wintry flume]

its not "gain money BUT destroy cards"

[jolly cove]

But what about jokers

(And add eternals)

[wintry flume]

its not really a challenge if its just easier than the normal game

[jolly cove]

Is joker destruction a potential way to 'improve' this?

[brazen dust]

isnt that a less interesting version of knifes edge then

[plush rain]

You should keep it as is but destroy a card after every hand played and discard used

Too frequent of destruction is a detriment

[craggy sleet]

What if it destroyed all held in hand cards every hand? Like the fragile challenge, but 5 card hands are meta. I guess then you would just deckfix to always have 5 cards that make a straight flush, but you would also need to one shot every time then. Perhaps it has some extra downside to offset that.
