Partial

Ricochet: random split attacks need fuller targeting rules.

Anticipate: next-turn enemy intent preview plus block still needs exact behavior review.

PiercingWail: enemy attack reduction is implemented as a shared Weak/Vulnerable style effect, but needs final balance review.

Expose: weak/vulnerable interaction is only partially modeled.

BubbleBubble: still missing the condition for poison dragon form ownership.

Skewer: X-cost attack.

Outbreak: every 3 poison applications deal 11 to all enemies.

Strangle: extra damage the first time a card is used.

EscapePlan: gain block when discarded.

HandTrick: one card becomes sly and grants block when discarded.

Mirage: gain block equal to total damage dealt this turn.

UpMySleeve: create Shiv plus reduce discard cost.

NoxiousFumes: poison all enemies at turn start.

EchoingSlash: repeat on kill.

TheHunt: kill reward is implemented.

Murder: damage scales with cards drawn this combat.

Malaise: X-cost weak/vulnerable reduction.

Pinpoint: per-turn discard-based attack damage.

BladeOfInk: turn-based Shiv creation.

KnifeTrap: playable only when draw pile is empty.

BulletTime: hand cost zero plus draw disabled.

Accelerant: poison trigger timing is not finalized.

Envenom: attack poison on hit.

MasterPlanner: skill discard interaction still needs a clear rules decision.

SerpentForm: damage on card play.

WraithForm: intangible plus turn-end block loss.

Open questions

• MasterPlanner
• Accelerant
• Outbreak

These three still need a confirmed rule interpretation before we lock them in.
