Cardkind

cardKind is one of the kind abstratuses found in The Overseer Project. There is no set way for the decks to work yet; some can have cards drawn to produce a variety of interesting effects, others have sharp bladed edges for wicked papercutting, yet others summon monsters to fight for you, and some are simply single cards. Experiment with them until you find one that suits your fighting style (or is so ridiculously powerful you don't want anything else), why don't you? There are currently 95 weapons available for cardkind. Some are shown below. If you want to avoid spoilers, then under no circumstances should you read on.

 

Base Decks

 

Blackjack Deck

Strength: 2

* One Handed

* A normal deck of cards, nothing unusual here.

 

Old Valentine's Day Card

Strength: 1

* One Handed

* An old Valentine's Day card from your school crush. It was one of the many mandatory cards given out in your class Valentine's Day party, so it probably meant nothing to them, but it means the world to you.

 

Tarot Deck

Strength: 1

* One Handed

* The Homestuck tarot deck! No Seer should be without one.

 

Alchemisable Decks

 

4 of Frogs / Saber Croak

Strength: 750

* One Handed

* Frogs ain't a real suit and sabers don't croak!

 

4 of Hearts / Quadrant Keyblade

Strength: 677

* One Handed

* This time of year, love is in the air... as well as Christmas, Halloween, and St. Patty's Day when you're wielding this keyblade.

 

4 of Space Frogs / Saber of Vast Croaks

Strength: 1000

* One Handed

* This alternately increasingly absurd playing card or surprisingly effective frog themed saber makes you feel like you know exactly where you are at all times.

 

4 of Spades / Saber Rattle

Strength: 400

* One Handed

* The perfect card when you need to kill something out of rage and frustration.

 

7 of Spades / Bait and Switchblade

Strength: 700

* One Handed

* Treat your enemies to a bit of the old BAIT AND SWITCHBLADE.

 

8 of Spades / Double Edged Sword

Ace of Clubs / Crook of Felony

Strength: 1010

* One Handed

* It’s time to deal those underlings a senseless shin-drubbing with your CROOK OF FELONY.

 

Ace of Hades

Strength: 9999

* Two Handed

Ace of Spades / Cast Iron Horse Hitcher

Strength: 1500

* One Handed

* Bring me a horse and I am yours forever.

 

Ace of Swords

Strength: 1000

* One Handed

* The Ace of Swords is a sign of clear thought and cutting through confusion, a sign of being able to see through deception. It encourages you to make a stand and hold to your decisions no matter how radical. It also turns into a actual sword that's more than capable of being used effectively for mundane purposes. That's probably more pertinent to the situation at hand.

 

Ace of Wands

Strength: 1000

* One Handed

* The Ace of Wands is a sign of inspiration, a sign of a new Beginning. It encourages you to "go for it" It also turns into a really powerful wand. I probably should have said that earlier...

* Not to be confused with the ancient version of Spades, the Pentacles suit.

 

AR Cards

Strength: 128

Blackjackknives

Strength: 62

* One Handed

* Normal playing cards with razor sharp edges made of, guess what, knife blades!

 

Black Jack Robot

Blackstar Deck

Strength: 67

* One Handed

* A glowing deck of blackjack cards. When thrown, a card splits into several spinning stars. Kinda makes you feel like some kind of gambling ninja! (Or maybe ninja gambler? Yeah, that definitely sounds cooler.)

Digimon Cards

Strength: 45

* One Handed

Digivolving Tarot

Strength: 60

* One Handed

* It's said that with enough practice, the Digimon on these Tarot cards will digivolve and the deck will increase in power. Or the art will get prettier. It's one of those two.

Fiduspawn Cards

Strength: 612
