Nice mirror. Is there any way the rarities could match as well?

A lot of people would like red to have looting effects (draw, then discard). Some think it should be "discard at random", some think it should be regular discard but never draw more than the amount discarded. About a year ago, however, I didn't see it that much. So this isn't about that.

This is like a Black Knight kind of card. I made a red card that did Mask of Memory's effect to mirror Face of the Mermaid's "discard to draw two". Then I saw the effects made more sense switched. I'm happy that looting is gradually being more accepted as a thing red could do. While this card involves a random action to avoid people complaining red shouldn't get this, it now seems it was always a step in the right direction.

I'm also happy that red managed to get an evasion ability, which helped this particular mirror.

Alex: See my comment on Face of the Mermaid.

Suggest that the random discard isn't a may ability. Change it to a full triggered ability so you have to do it.

A lot of casual players would be scared to attack if they had a card in their hand. On the other hand, though, that could teach them that card advantage is indeed important, and that odds aren't always against them, but maybe they would simply not attack.

Also, I don't like when obligatory abilities are missed and you have to go back (especially if it's about discarding and drawing, which changes everything a lot).
