the expected value of the ability is you gain .25 glory, opponent gains .75 glory. So to get 2 glory you would expect a cost of 13 flux, 9 turns and 6 glory for the opponent. Even if the last ability gave you glory instead I'd rather play cathedral of xosa.

Yeah, I wasn't really putting calculations in when I first drew it up.

What happens if I adjust it to this?
50% Chance that you will gain 1 glory.
25% Chance that both players gain 1 glory.
25% Chance that opponent gains 2 glory.

With this change, you're basically saying
75% Chance you gain 1 glory OR .75 glory per dim
versus
50% Chance opponent gains 1.5 glory OR .75 per dim

So that should work out, but I was kind of hoping one of the options would involve losing health, you know, when the thugs come to claim those unpaid gambling debts. And then may the owner loses one glory when the card leaves play.

Losing health? Uh, not really into that idea. Mabye the losing glory one though.

Maybe I just like gambling.

I'd rather see an interesting card that REALLY gambles rather than a mediocre card that sort of gambles. :-)

Lolz, maybe I should just keep quiet... I am responsible for the Drunken Mortar Team, which everyone seems to hate...

I can't imagine people would take kindly to more gambling cards. :-P

Lol, I have not known this annoying assasin Sunny for long enough a time, but I suggest that "sort of" gambling is like the first step towards actual gambling cards in the game ;).
