v0.1.1 playtest update

* Shoutout to CL, FC, AB and RM for playtesting <3
* Nerfed Final Rites, much too strong for a 100-priority final card
* Added Sideswipe, Sidestep, Poison Pill and Hand Stuff Under the Table
* Reduced number of reveal cards and added small point effects
* Changed Loadshedding, now has strategic viability with cards that
force-reveal like Excommunication
