Why the "Infusion" naming convention? (Etymology of the names)[edit]

Grammatically, an object or proper noun would be "Infuser". However, the word "Infuser" is usually used in terms of tea bags so I went for a more subtle approach, by using a reference to the action or method of "infusing" (delivering intravenously or process of infusing) rather than the source of the "infusing".

The definition I was going for was "the act of infusing or introducing a certain modifying element or quality." - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/infusion

Compare: Infusion: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/infusion ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infusions%2C_intraosseous Infuser: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/infuser

Oddball Builds, thought of on a whim[edit]

They may not be necessarily effective, they just are thoughts of how to synergize certain skills without being cookie-cutter, or as the dictionary puts it, "marked by lack of originality or distinction".
Embrace the inner Johnny in you!

Johnny likes a challenge. Johnny enjoys winning with cards that no one else wants to use. He likes making decks that win in innovative ways. What sets Johnny apart from the other profiles is that Johnny enjoys deckbuilding as much as (or more than) he enjoys playing. Johnny loves the cool interactions of the cards. He loves combo decks. Johnny is happiest when he’s exploring uncharted territory.
...R&D designs some cards for Johnny. Johnny cards are cards that have unique effects that Johnny can build cool decks around. In general, Johnny cards are the kind of cards with real potential. (Some of them will eventually excite Spike.) Good examples of Johnny cards are Holistic Wisdom, Radiate, and Battle of Wits.
