Magic deck of cards
magic deck of cards
Plural: magic decks of cards
Some magic decks let you pick out the right card when you need it. Other magic decks let you destroy a card and it'll come back unharmed. This deck ... well, let's just say calling it "magic" is kind of stretching it.

When Used in Combat
You ask your opponent if they'd like a Hawaiian punch. They smartly decline that, plus the knuckle sandwich and the wet Willie that you also offer. Nearly at a loss, you ask if they'd like to play cards. When they agree, you declare the game to be 52-pickup, and hurl the deck at them. Looks like they'll be busy cleaning up that mess for a while.
Notes
- Opponent is stunned for 2-4 rounds (including the round in which cards are used).
- Against frusion enemies it stuns for a single round.
References
- The messages when using the item on another player and in combat refer to the game 52 Pickup.
