Well, there's more questions in here than my original question (because I wanted examples), so what's possible and not on all the new variables etc would be nice, but the core question is if having a C/U/R* N-effect could exist. If it could, how it would be written, if it would be fixed at one exact rate, etc.

1. "Bricks: +N
N = Recruits cost of last card played by opponent (max 10)
N* rarity of card (C-1, U-1,5, R-2)"
2. "Each player receives N damage
N = # of keywords in hand * The highest rarity of those cards (C-1, U-2, R-4)"
3. "Gain resources equal to the cost of a new card in your hand of highest rarity (max 3 of each * rarity (C-1, U-2, R-4)

Thoughts?

Should work. Have the rarity set the value of a separate variable such as M and do the calculation from there (M*N, etc.).

To #1 I think I actually saw cards like these (though im not sure if they were concept cards or actual playing cards)

Yes, card rarities can be used in card effects. There are already cards that do so.

Yeah Vulture was the inspiration, but Vulture has a very straight-forward way of just using discard. I was wondering more about all the odd possibilities (like the ones listed), and the best wording.

I think using rarity in more cards and ways could be a great way to add more variety to the game without adding another keyword etc.
