Diablo 3 Extreme Hardcore card deck challenge

Hello everyone,

Hereby I present you the challenge for Season 29.

Recommended for Diablo III experts, to make the game very challenging.

You’ll need a deck of 52 cards, or find one online.

Before you play, read the rules carefully.

Turn off Auto-equip Items.

You aren’t allowed to enter a Vision of Enmity. (Seasonal event)
You aren’t allowed to use any Kanai’s Cube recipe.
You aren’t allowed to use ANY Legendaries/Set items.
You aren’t allowed to use ANY Paragon points.
You aren’t allowed to use ANY gems.
You aren’t allowed to use ANY passive skills.
You aren’t allowed to spend Blood Shards.
You aren’t allowed to have more than 2 skills on your hotbar.
The Max DPS you may have is 200.000. (Only applies when in town without activated buffs.
Example: Laws of Valor is on and you have 199.999 is fine, even when you activate it, and your damage goes over 200k)

You can’t play in a party, unless you play with other Extreme Hardcore card deck players.
SSF is an option, not required!

Card powers:

2 The max DPS you may have increases by 200.000 per 2 collected. Collecting all the 2´s removes this cap.

3 You may use + 100 Paragon points in all 4 tabs. Collecting all 3’s allows you unlimited.

4 For every collected 4, you are allowed 1 type of normal gem. Collecting all 4’s gives you unlimited normal gems.

5 For every collected 5, you can have +1 skill on your hotbar.

6 For every collected 6, you may have +1 passive skill active.

7 Collect all 7’s: You are allowed to enter the Seasonal’s theme: Vision of Enmity.

8 Collecting this card forces you to salvage your best item! (regardless if it’s in your stash, or if you are wearing it)

9 Collect all the 9’s: You are allowed to use Blood Shards.

10 Collecting this card does nothing. Collecting all 10’s allows you to draw 1 extra card per draw to choose from.

Jack Collect all the Jacks: You are able to wear Set items and socket the Legacy of Dreams legendary gem into your gear.

Queen Every Queen you collect, Collecting the first Queen allows you to use the first recipe. Also every Queen collected allows you to use 1/2/3 Cube slots. Collecting all Queens allows you to use all Kanai’s Cube pages.

King Every King you collect, allows you to wear 1/2/3 Legendaries at a time. Collecting all the Kings allows you to wear unlimited Legendaries and use Legendary gems except Legacy of Dreams.

Ace Collect all the Aces: You must salvage everything you are currently wearing.

You may draw 1 card for the following objectives that you complete:

For every 5 GR levels you complete starting at Greater Rift 75. (So 75-80-85 etc.)
Everytime you level up 10 times. (Draw a card at 10-20-30 etc.)
For every completed Set. (only applies to sets that have a 6p bonus)
When you wear only Legendaries in all available slots.
When you have 3 gems socketted into your gear at level 25/50/75/100.
When you have your Kanai’s Cube slots fully equipped with items.
When you reach 400.000/750.000/1M/1.5M sheet damage while standing in town. (The damage number when you open your inventory, above Toughness)
When you complete a Challenge rift.
When you reach Paragon 50/100/150/200/300/400/500/600/700/800.
For every act you complete during the campaign.
Craft the Staff of Herding. This rewards with 3 card draws.

Collecting your first Primal.

When you draw a card, you draw 3 at once. You look at them, and pick the one you like. Then put the other 2 cards back in the deck, shuffle and continue.

You can draw a total of 87 cards out of a 52 card deck if you complete the entire list. (When you have drawn every card of the deck, you win!)

To play the game. Play Poker instead.

Because the game does not have enough RNG as it is?

Not enough:

You must roll a D20 to be sure that the card you draw is valid:

  • From 1 to 19, it’s a failure,
  • 20 is a success and you can use the card

This would have been a better season theme than season 26.

I’d play this mod 100%
Tho get rid of challenge rifts. They shouldn’t be in the game to begin with are are awful. I play to work on my character(s) not do some side arcade crap I’ll never revisit again.
