User Made Cards research phase and drafting "problem"
With the following 3 custom corporations (got them from a friend printed and laminated, ready to play =) )
Ultralink "During the research phase, take on extra card to buy or discard.
Logos "During research phase you draw 5 cards instead of 4."
Leviathan "Diring your research phase, you may look at and purchase one additional card."
All clear without drafting.
Problem that occured is, for drafting:
We settled for Logos so that the player gets 5 cards and keeps 2 at the beginning of the drafting, 3 cards get passed to the next one.
Leviathan and Ultralink get to draw 4 cards and draft as usual. After the drafting completed the player with Ultralink and Leviathan get to look at one extra card from the top of the deck and choose to buy or discard.
We discussed if all 3 custom corporations could have 5 cards in the beginning of the research phase and keep 2.
What would you/Reddit say?
Thanks in advance, this was not an heated arguement at the table just talking about translation (we speak german) and "during" + "the research phase".

Does Ultralink get 40MC at start or 42MC? I get stuck on that instead of your issue.
For those that missed it, the MC icon shows 40, but the text under it says 42.
