See Challenge # 100. For Archenemy Schemes.
Wowee! A free Future Sight! But, crucially, one that the opponents can force you to abandon. If you leave yourself unable to cast a spell.
That might be a bit too hard to achieve. A prepared Archenemy will always have a spell on hand to cast during the heroes' turn if they try to kill this through inaction.
But... then the Archenemy is being forced to jump through hoops to keep what is, after all, only a 5-mana enchantment. So... yeah, seems balanced and fun!
This could also whiff horribly on turn 2-3, revealing a 6-drop on top of your library and disappearing without achieving anything. Many Archenemy Schemes are that way, so I guess this fits the mould.
Name is great, by the way.
Thanks, Alex. I thought the abandonment clause was interesting because it promoted such mind games, which seem like they'd have a good place in Archenemy.
