Talk:Card Value/@comment-96.49.248.99-20130102224811

The notion of card value is redundant. The wiki makes some nonsense about the reasoning behind the two values. Apparently, since it's rare people have lots of PP on hand - an intangible, imaginary number is tacked on as a Card Value?? No logic.

Say the Pure Value of a Jotun is 200pp. Let's also say a Puppeteer Satan is 350pp. Most would expect a trade of the cards to involve Jotun + 150pp = Puppeteer. Simple. Easy. Logical.

What's the point of valuating Jotun at a Card Value of 400, if you're just going to up the value of Puppeteer by the same factor and making it 700? All you've done is make the gap between the two cards from 150pp to 300 in "card value". But when the trade is made, nobody's going to pay 300pp for the difference. It'll just be discounted back to 150pp.
