My gaming partner and I are starting our third expansion campaign. While we understand that we need to reduce our decks to 40 ether for balancing purposes, we have a lot of cards in our charcters' possession that we really like, way more than 40 ether worth. The trouble is, once we've acquired them during a campaign, if they don't make the 40 ether cut at the start of the next, it is impossible to get them back into our decks. Even if we do tons of shopping, because they are in our characters' possession (but in the box), we'll never see them to buy.
So, is there a way we can voluntarily move cards from our sections of the box back to the Influence Market?
I suppose we could just resolve Awakening and rebuild our decks to 40 cards without the ether restriction, but I feel that would violate the spirit of the start-of-campaign restriction.
