War council, Uncommon 0-cost
Lose 2 resources based on cost of cards in hand
Gain random Tower, Wall and Stock until total gain is 15



I'm unsure how to interpret the first effect. Lose 2 resources? So, if the other cards in hand cost a mixture of bricks and gems, you lose 2 bricks and 2 gems? Or one of each? Or two randomly from bricks and gems?

I feel like it must be something more severe, though, as the second effect is giving an average of 5 stock as well as 5 wall and 5 tower. Yes, I get that the actual gains will be randomly split so the stock gain may be more or less, but 5 will be the average. And if you're likely to gain 5 stock, losing "2 resources" seems negligible to the point of wondering why it's there at all.

Do you mean to completely DRAIN two of the resources? So bricks = 0 and gems = 0 in the above example? That would make much more sense, especially in a 0-cost deck where one could hope to avoid the loss. But if this is the intended effect, it needs to be worded as such.

Apologies. One had tried to be as concise as possible. I will specify the exact loss.

Here is the transcript. I also increased the maximum cost, in light of your valid assumption zero cost cards in hand would derive a greater benefit. While not as you commented:

War Council. Uncommon. Zero-Cost.
Lose up to 4 resources for each card in hand, based on cost(no more than card cost)
Gain random Tower, Wall and Stock until total gain is 15

Now, as I can hope I've conveyed, zero-cost and low cost cards in hand can net you benefit, while a hand full of higher cost cards will cost 32 resources for a paltry gain. A gem cost card would cost you up to 4 gems, while a Miracle or Priest would only cost 1 gem, an Oasis 3, and on and forth. mixed-cost cards with all resources mixed would up to four of anything, not four of everything etc.

I hope the card now describes the effect as intended?

In the original, Zero-cost card benefit was only an afterthought, but, now the idea is you wait until your hand fills with low cost cards to play War council, and receive a random but cost effective gain.

Its effect is much clearer now. Good change.
