9 cards in the opening hand, or the ability to forgo some of them in favor of scrying? I sense some ridiculous openings when this guy shows up.
Does the opening hand count as drawing? If so, I think this is indeed likely to be ridiculous, especially with any sort of combo deck, but it could easily be changed to only work during your draw step or somehting.
I'm pretty sure the opening hand doesn't count as drawing. As a point of comparison, I remember there was a bit of buzz with the second generation of Vanguard cards, since Takara had +3 starting cards (a first), and a relevant ability.
