* LuckBasedMission: Every stage to some degree, given the 'luck of the draw' element common to card games. A stage taking place in a minefield becomes much trickier when the mine detector cards you brought all wind up towards the bottom of your deck.

* [[spoiler: DownerEnding: You've got bodies everywhere, Neoteny on the loose, and the real Hans Davis gets away scot-free. Snake and Teliko agree to go mountain climbing together, which is kind of nice, but all the true villains and conspirators come out ahead in the end.]]

* DoubleAgent: Almost everyone in the cast is suggested to be one at some point, including Snake himself. [[spoilers: Alice Hazel turns out to be the infamous No. 16 while Minette turns out to be No. 104 AND Flemming's brainwashed daughter. Snake ISN'T one; his Hans Davis persona was imprinted on him by Alice. Teliko isn't either; La Clown is impersonating her and raising hell using her likeness. Charles Schmeiser turns out to be the real Hans Davis. It's... a lot.]]

* UnlockableDifficultyLevels: Expert difficulty is available after clearing the game, which fills each level with extra enemies and makes them all tougher and better-equipped. This will have negligible impact on players running Stealth Camo decks, since it just means more goons to invisibly run past, but those who prefer combat will have a lot more on their plate. Expert also significantly increases the score payout at the end of a successful mission, making it ideal for farming points for cards.

* InvisibilityCloak: The Stealth Camo card, which has a shockingly low rarity and cost-to-use given how potent it is. Even bloodthirsty players benefit from it, since attacking doesn't break stealth and enemies can't attack what they can't see. The one theoretical drawback - the card expiring after 20 cost has gone by - is handily offset by all of the cost reduction cards available and the ability to have four Camo cards in the same deck. Even if your Camo is about to die out, you've probably got a fresh one in your hand ready to go.

** Snake also has to do this in [=MGA2=]. Well, technically - Dalton's blackmailing him into investigating [=SaintLogic=], and if he does so, he'll get pardoned and will be a legal immigrant to the US.

* ScoreMultiplier: The Big Boss card, which doubles your score at the end of a successful mission. It's essential for anyone intent on farming cards and completing the set. It says it gives a -40 attack penalty to Snake and his allies, but it doesn't seem to effect Teliko and explosive and universal attacks are exempt.
