Discard/sac outlet a downside?

Cart art: This full art treatment is done in the black and white comic book style of original TMNT comic creator Kevin Eastman. It depicts a humanoid turtle leaping over the rooftops of a city. The card boxes are lined in gold and the rules text box is signed in gold by Eastman with a doodle of a samurai helmet.

The art style clash is real on this one.

But it is a solid referance to the live-action movie, the cartoon, the graphic novel, and idk where that leo is from... it is pretty neat!

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

Game is beyond sick!

Alt: a video game character in a gas mask "Psycho Mantis" in a Kojima game "Metal Gear Solid" reads your memory card and says "you like castlevania don't you?" if you have castlevania save data on your memory card.
