Effects

• A reusable Unique, the owner 'draws a card' by using the Deck, causing either a positive or negative effect to occur
• These effects vary wildly and each effect has a corresponding 'card name' found below
• The fourth card drawn will always be 'Escape' and will return the Deck to the Unique Pool; it can also be the first, second or third card drawn
  • If the 'Escape' card is drawn on the first draw, the Deck will return to the Pool and essentially grant nothing to the user
• Purportedly, Lady Luck affects the chances of a positive card being drawn

Unique Items

Annoying and so not worth the 1.1 billion gold I spent for it. As of 4/26/2013, given 4 uses. First use drew the Fool, which destroyed about 60% of my artifacts. Second use drew Slaughter, which killed all of my population. Third use drew the Banker, which gave me 205k geld. Fourth use...
