Sordward & Shielbert
Choose a Trainer card from your discard pile. Then, ask your opponent if you may put it into your hand. If yes, put that card into your hand. If no, draw 3 cards.
This card gives the player control over their resources by letting them choose between recycling a specific Trainer or gaining fresh options through a card draw. The mechanic relies on a friendly agreement between players rather than a strict rule, adding a social element to the game.
