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.

How Obtained
Using Marty Crouch's magic chest (0-11)
When Returned through [target player]
You invite <player> to play cards with you and then declare the game to be fifty-two pickup. It's kind of a jerk move, but it's still funny. You buff <player> with Playing Fifty-two Pickup.
- Trying to return the item to yourself:
- You decide that you don't need to send this item to yourself. Why not save the postage fees?
Effect on Receiver:
| <player> has buffed you with Playing Fifty-two Pickup. (Added for 30 minutes.) |
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.
- The combat use message references television advertisements for Hawaiian Punch, in which a cartoon character named Punchy asks his friend if he would like a Hawaiian Punch, and then punches him.
