I choose Grapha, Snoww, and Gates

I choose Venus, Hyperion, and Earth

I choose Stratos, RotA, and E - Emergency Call

I choose Reborn, Solemn, and Dustshoot

tl;dr card is broke, and adding "Card" to it just makes it even moreso ._.

EDIT: And now you made it a quickplay? DEAR GOD X_X

I gave it a drawback during your edit. Look again.

I really don't see the point in Generous Selection? Other than a really complicated Dark Designator combo.

Desperate Selection: Life Points mean nothing. Into the Void style effect would go some length to balancing it.

The LP is for EVERY effect you activate, not just that card.

Yeee...sssssss... I got that.

So you don't activate it when you need to activate 8 effects that turn.

Obviously you won't always get that option, but potentially 1 or 2K for any one of three cards of your choice, eh?

... yeah, I'll admit, I was only thinking of one archetype when I came up with Desperate Selection's original effect (3 guesses what that archetype is, and the first two don't count). With the way I have it now, I figure that only a few archetypes can utilize it without too much drawback.



As for Generous Selection?, yes I was thinking of something like Dark/D.D. Designator plays. Basically, making this card akin to Gift Card/Gift of Greed/other cards that would seem to benefit the opponent on their own.
