All Edicts

All Edicts The following is a list of all Edicts (From the actual games, and from Internet sources). It may be used as a reference for the MESMER power. Once your deck begins to accumulate such a large quantity of edicts, it is recommended that you have a separate deck of edicts only, and shuffle in an appropriate number into the regular deck (as is done with Flares). You may determine which edicts you require in any given game (i.e. Cosmic Zaps and Mobius Tubes). Edicts from the Internet are in italics, and edicts created by Jack or Marcus are underlined.
