Sample catalyst design. Catalyst is not quite "discard a card"; I think that there is a big issue with running out of cards if it was. So I went for a lesser option, where you remove a card from your hand until it leaves the battlefield, letting you get it back. By design, most catalyze effects at lower rarities will be permanent upgrades that give the creature more evasion or make it harder/disincentivize killing it, to make the decision have a bit more weight. Using a combat trick or a high cost spell is nice, but if your creature gets Pacifism'd or is relatively ignorable - is it worth it?
