Your opinion doesn't seem welcome, and the statues resume their unending debate.
Colorful Philosophers
Before you is a rather epic sight.
You see 3 different colored statues towering over a dais, having a heated debate over the philosophical implications of color.
As you listen in, you get a sense that the most important question at hand is which color truly is THE BEST.
You chime in with your thoughts.

What each choice does
Which option to take
- Go straight for the rare screen and treat the other two as bonuses.
- Pick the color whose rares your deck can pay for; an off-color power or scaling attack that needs no support is the goal.
- Skip anything that needs the rest of that character's kit.
- Never take cards just because they are free.
How it plays
One option per character pool you have unlocked other than your own, named by color: Pink (Necrobinder), Red (Ironclad), Orange (Regent), Green (Silent), Blue (Defect).
If more than 3 qualify, random ones are dropped until 3 remain.
Choosing a color opens three card rewards from that character's pool in a row: 3 commons, then 3 uncommons, then 3 rares, each rolled evenly within its rarity.
Take one card from each screen or skip any of them, so the real ceiling is three off-color cards, not a fixed three.
