After you attack or defend, add your card to your line.
When you line has 10 or more syllables, discard your line. If there are exactly 10 syllables, resolve the completion effect on the last card.
Notes
As you play cards, you lay them left to right as a “line”. When the line is 10 or more syllables, you say the line out loud! For example, “From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.”
Roman’s note: This is utterly fantastic. In many decks, I see little more than ideas I came up with years ago, but this, this is beyond anything I’ve come up with… which is saying something.
