: Draw a card and target opponent draws a card and then discards a card.
early idea that I want to explore - needs to be balanced though.
Yeah, I got to admit, that's pretty strong. It would be a playable uncommon at
, but I feel that you don't want that. Maybe you could let your opponent draw two, discard two while you straight up draw one. You get card advantage and your opponent gets some serious options.
considered costing it a
rather than 
but yeah as is it's a bit too strong.
That activation is probably overkill. Compare to Jushi Apprentice. Mind you, Jushi Apprentice was very, very good, and eventually appeared in most blue decks, but this card is currently worse than it in 4 ways.
yes but Jushi apprentice could flip into a much more powerful version. With this you can obliquely mill an opponent by activating it when he has no cards in hand.
No fair changing the activation cost then arguing with me. :)
If we want to be technical, I think the Jushi Apprentice also does a better job of milling a player. A flipped Jushi apprentice that activates 3 times can make a player draw 32 cards... If you can take the heat.
I was actually agreeing that Jushi is better in most ways BUT wait until I enter the rest of the trade consortium cards...:-)
The trade consortium theme is as you may have guessed "lets make a deal"(fine print: you may think you got a good deal but really you got shafted and I got the better of you) I think the white TC cards will raise some "discussion" as they flirt with breaking the pie a little.
Speaking of which...
This is pretty strong. I think it's ultimately playable, but not particularly exciting. If you bumped it to
and the opponent to drawing and discarding two this card would be stronger as mill while giving the opponent more options to kill such an overpowered card. Ultimately this is the kind of thing that I like to see in drafts as it's very strong on its own but also very applicable in a rarely drafted subtype. Wizards is always trying to enable milling in drafts, they love that shit.
Just to be clear, are you suggesting changing the Cost to
or the activation to 
?
