The Diverse Deck is a colorless power skill with four cards that provide varying bonuses. When a card is drawn, it enters cooldown, and after that ends the card can be discarded to make way for the next. All cards have a passive ability, an on-discard bonus and sometimes provide one on draw.

Notes
- Diverse Deck is always colorless. Because of this, even if a legendary version generates, it is not possible to use two at once.
- Cooldowns for this item are between drawing a card and discarding it.
- Each card has its own legendary affix.
- Tanking a hit with
Foresight doesn't prevent flawless achievements and accessing No-Hit Doors. - Cycling the deck does not refresh the number of kills to recover Foresight.
Electrodynamics doesn't gain any orbs from items with the "ShortCooldown" tag such as 
Grappling Hook, 
Cocoon, 
Infantry Grenade, 
Oil Grenade, 
Wave of Denial, 
Maria's Cat and 
Taunt.- Despite appearances, the orbs summoned by Electrodynamics are not like other projectiles, and are thus unaffected by the
Point Blank mutation and do not enable 
Networking.
- Though they are not melee either, and so do not interact with melee Mutations and Gear such as
Combo, 
Front Line Shield and 
Vampirism. - However, the dps of the shock status inflicted by Electrodynamics orbs can be buffed by mutations, such as
Support and Point Blank.
- Though they are not melee either, and so do not interact with melee Mutations and Gear such as
- Electrodynamics can be used as a better version of
Catalyst as it can have the "Poison on Hit" affix which gives it the poison synergy of Catalyst, while keeping the damage and electric synergy of Electrodynamics. 
Barricade Discard deals melee damage, while Electrodynamics Discard and Catalyst Discard deal ranged damage. All three attacks can be buffed by relevant mutations.
