Title: Alternative Dominants
Post by: Minister Polarius on January 13, 2012, 04:20:42 PM: Here are some Dominants that wouldn't increase the total number of doms in a deck, but could provide some variety among niche decks.

A while ago, there was some discussion about this sort of thing, I don't remember who came up with it.

There is no precedent for cards losing Identifiers, but the way I imagined it is that if a card looses a "holds" identifier, the cards it was holding go back to their default locations. One of the side-benefits I envisioned was being able to get back all your cards from Storehouse at once at the cost of losing further use of it and not being able to negate your opponents' Fortresses.
