There are ways to add attributes without using MC's : one way means using other voodoo cards of pretty much equal value : another is probably viewable as an exploit as it may involve deliberately losing battles, but that's subject to the admins opinion, not mine.
Deliberately losing battles. That's definitely one way to do it. I wouldn't see an issue with using that technique as long as the battle wasn't arranged. If deliberately losing a battle was against the rules, merchants would have to put cannons on their fleets. BUT as you said, the final say belongs to the admins.
