Repeated intro

Greetings,If you like card games, and you've played Magic: The Gathering, then you are most definitely familiar with the concept of the Instant card. These cards can be played at any point in the game, whether it's your opponent's turn or not. I've always been a fan of this, and personally believe hearthstone could benefit from card types like this. They prevent all of the power lying with the player currently taking their turn, and give some control to each player. So, 60+ patches later, we've finally added that control. Let's have some fun and get competitive ladies and gentleman!
