Additional Notes and Information:

Obviously a riff on the venerable Supergerm series from the actual game. I apologize that I can't properly draw the Supergerm figure (much less transmogrify him into a bride).

I wrote a Python sim to get an idea how lethal this card actually is. (Answer: Not as much as I'd thought... It might need to be reworked.)

Number of simulations: 1000000
Max killed: 145;  max turned: 14;   max benign: 8
Avg killed: 8.49; avg turned: 0.50; avg benign: 0.25
