a voluntary handicap system wouldn't be very difficult using the scripting system. I think the player who starts the script is always the first player so it wouldn't be hard to make a script where the second player gets extra flux, free creatures or cards each round. If Jed added a getRating() function for players the script could have a variable handicap.
