by Mal:

Not sure how strong this will be, but I'm entirely willing to bump this up to {u} {u} if it's a strong pick. Also not sure if it should be common or uncommon, since it has some unusual wording but should be fairly easy to understand.

by WOM Devign Team:

This is a weaker and more complicated version of the absolutely awful Stymied Hopes. It’s stone unplayable.

Of note: Stymied Hopes is strictly worse than Condescend in two ways.

Good points. Now much better. Pretty unwilling to change the tax to {2} , but I feel like it's the next step if drawing a card is too strong.

by Tahazzar:

I like this. I would word it as

> ... pays . If he or she does, draw a card.

Btw, similar kind of concept can be applied to discard and sacrifice spells as well. Ie. Only Blood Ends Your Nightmares.

> Target opponent sacrifices a creature. Then if that player didn't sacrifice a creature this way, he or she discards two cards.
