Thoughts on Dual Upgrade Cards

By Folkenhellfang, in X-Wing

Some of you have already touched on this new type of card, but the discussion on Tomax got me to thinking. When you are instructed to discard a card, you flip it face down. With that in mind, I think this type of card could have very interesting applications with ordnance cards.

They all have instructions to discard the card to preform the attack, and with a different weapon printed on the back it would reason that you could use it again. Something like:

Swarm Missiles

Attack (Target Lock)

Discard this card and spend your target lock to preform this attack.

Insert what ever these missiles do here.

Then on the other side....

Hyper-spatial Torpedoes

Attack (Focus)

Discard this card to preform this attack.

Again, further effects here.

Obviously, this could mean a high cost card, or keep the power mild and the price to match. Could be cool.

It all will depend on how they work.

I like the concept of a single upgrade that could be used for a couple different purposes but it is how that all works that may ultimately decide how good they are.
