Wow, I really love this card.
Is the card meant to be that bad just from stumbling upon the unfortunate circumstance of not going first?
Ooh, good point. You can't get curve for any of the instants on your opponent's turn if they go first, which makes this card much less good when they're on the play. Subtle.
Makes me wonder whether Curve should be "Curve n - (If you cast this spell after your nth turn has started, but before your (n+1)th turn, it gains this effect)". Uglier but fairer.
I allowed this card to be Cryptic Command powerful (even more) on the curve and a fairer version in any other case, and yes it was designed that way for the instants, thats why in most cases instants with curve are much powerful (the curve effect) than sorcerys with curve, as you have one more restriction on the draw, you have to use them as sorceries.
