Gareth's Mod
A part 1 booster pack created by Gareth48 and illustrated by Plutraser. Adds 22 cards and 6 sigils designed to fit the balance and design philosophy of vanilla inscryption, with a focus on primarily card flavour, fun and balance.
As a warning you may not encounter every card I've added on a single run, so make sure you keep updating the mod so you don't miss out on the existing cards and future ones!
Requires CardApi to work

Known Issues
The "Tasty Morsel" card pool is not every card from act 1, a select few have been removed for balance reasons or to prevent softlocks
If anything breaks or acts unusually while you are testing this mod please feel free to send me a message at Gareth48#3428
Or feel free to message me for any reason at all (I would love to hear about any positive or negative suggestions, balance ideas, etc)

Allies - "When a creature bearing this sigil dies, one of its old allies will temporarily join your hand to avenge it"
Standoffish - "So long as a creature bearing this sigil is opposed by another, it gains 2 attack."
