"Draw 200 cards" is just too much blunt force for the people you're hoping would be interested in that part of the card. The only combos are extremely obvious, and the results are predictable.

(I would still use it as Tunnel Vision #3, though.)

Yeah. It's a joke on "battle of wits" but it should perhaps be demoted to the silver-bordered set rather than trying to squeeze it in here. Then I could also take off the "draw 5" ability which I put on to make it ever playable...

Wait. This is balanced? That's awesome! (though, I fear the real world would ask for reminder text about how you lose the game when you fail to draw.)

I don't think this is printable, but I really love the design. Gentleman Magicians is a bit out of date, there's lots of cards that I wouldn't design today, but I don't think it's worth updating them all because I'd have to redesign the set from scratch.

It's "Draw 5 cards" for one cheaper than Braingeyser would do it, so that's fine. Then it has trinket text of "Go on, build a ridiculous deck, you know that you want to..."

Personally, I love it. Though yes, mainly I love it for the trinket text which should totally be a silver-border card. Though in that land, I'd suggest the trinket text of "Draft an additional 60 cards"
