Its been a few days, but I needed to make a major change to how the rules work!
Originally, when I introduced the rule to allow an additional card draw at the end of your turn if you didn't attack, it was for the purpose of introducing draw mechanics into the game. A lot of cards didn't have draw effects yet and this was my unique solution to that problem. My hypothesis was that it would either significantly speed up games as it provides more resources early in the game... or it would slow it down as players would play more defensively to build resources. A major problem with this implementation is that the trade off of gaining resources vs having no damage that turn is too disproportionate to pass up. With this rule, games were on average concluding at turn 4 to turn 7. Not to mention, if certain combos were set up, there was absolutely no counterplay because of how quickly games would end! This experiment has concluded and I have ultimately decided to remove this rule from the game.
I also ironed out a typo in Hivemind Channeler.
