Price/power (0/5): Terrible for any price.

Tactical (0/5): Not a whole lot of icons compared to regular weapons, and it's single use.

Bonus (1/1): Can't give this a 0.

Closing remarks: I'm not sure if Battlecards were ever viable, but they certainly aren't viable now. Get a Scroll of Ultranova, a Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer, or anything else that does a decent amount of damage and isn't single use.

At a Glance (0/3):
Throw this magically charged playing card at your opponent, and watch as they explode upon contact, dealing (hehe, pun unintended) a whopping ~5.95 icons of damage on average. Unfortunately, the card loses its charge and becomes fairly useless afterwards, unless you can throw cards like a certain card-throwing, teleporting someone. Lol.

In-Depth (0/4):
This is supposed to be a bomb, where it should be dealing more damage than your regular constants at the expense of being single use. Common beginner constants, such as Scroll of Three Curses and Scroll of Knowledge, deal 10-11 icons of damage. A bomb that deals LESS than that is never worth your time. This can never be worth your time, even if its "powerful".

Price (0/2):
I never commend single-use weapons for being economic, as each time you use it, you're (quite literally, in this case!) throwing away nps. Save the 240 nps you'd spend on this, and get the 1 np Scroll of Ultranova.

Bonus (1/1):
MATH TIME!

The iconage works similarly like its downgraded versions, Branston Battlecard and Silver Branston Battlecard, where you're dealing 21/9 and 42/9 exact icons of damage respectively. This card, in particular, deals out 21/9 icons of fire and dark damage plus 21/90 to 21/9 icons of physical damage, adding up to a max of 63/9 total icons of damage (simplified to 7 whole icons)! However, the gold card series increments differently, in that not all the cards increase in strength by 4/9 of an icon per element. Most of them do, but not all.

While not all that powerful, this shows how much detail TNT used to put into ...

Price/Power (0/5)
This is no Battle Muffin, that is for sure.

Countermeasures (0/5)
Easy to block with little effort- fractionals are also annoying.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
Just get a Water Muffin or Shooting Star Muffin

Other Points

Final Thoughts
Needs moar power.
