[Ancient Evils]Imani Zadine, Or: An alternative to Doom Play

Hi. Here's a little something that i had on my mind recently and that i felt was worth putting out as an article.

Doom Play is an archetype that asks players to constantly put more doom tokens into play in exchange for power. This archetype has not a great track record, and honestly i don't think that's all that surprising. Asking to have one doom in play like Marie is not a huge problem, but asking to keep putting out doom just to keep your cards and abilities in a functional state has many, many problems. Problems that also can't be solved just by cranking up numbers on the other side of the "cost:effect" equation.

So here's a suggestion on how to instead deliver the "power at a price" fantasy within the Mystic class: Pay the price in encounter cards instead of doom.
