That second ability is pretty powerful for 3 cmc.
That second ability is pretty powerful for 5 cmc.
Dunno, I'd have placed this around 4, personally. At four it might get the opponent to discard a couple of things; at 5+ your opponent will likely have emptied their hand (or been able to anyway). They might not have wanted to but hey, how is forcing a discard really much worse than just countering it?
I imagine that in the decks that play this, it effectively reads "Each opponent's maximum hand size is 0." That's got to be at least 6 mana.
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur basically says that, and he's pretty costly.
Edit: Though of course his draw ability is very powerful.
Yeah, I was thinking of Jin-Gitaxias. Refilling your hand is probably his best ability, but surprising your opponent by making them discard their hand by flashing him in during their end step is pretty good too.
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur was the only reference on my mind when I thought of this card. I saw Jin's draw as his best ability, but I know how powerful the second ability is. 3 definitely was way too low. I feel like at 7 this card would never be used anywhere.
I also only named it Dumb Down because I couldn't think of anything better.
What if it reduced each opponent's handsize by 1 for each card over seven in your hand? That's what I initially thought it did, and that way the two abilities actually scale together and it can be costed a bit more aggressively.
I actually really like that idea.
This is much more reasonable. I like it. Unlike the other, once you break this you've probably already guaranteed a win anyway.
