It would totally address this if the effect was "discard one, two, or three cards and draw one more card than the number of cards you discarded," but that would clearly cost more. <br /><br />Tommy Occhipintihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495646355536064735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-85087965292829119702015-12-16T10:04:39.571-05:002015-12-16T10:04:39.571-05:00Anything that says "draw four" needs to ...Anything that says "draw four" needs to be narrow, risky, or expensive. I agree this is much harder to use than Tormenting Voice, but it serves a very different role. And it compares rather well to Goblin Lore (without being a strict upgrade).<br /><br />Chandra costs six and is mythic.

As it is, this is just really clunky cycling while Chandra is a strict +1 (probably more, because you get to keep Chandra around for another go next turn).Jenesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356037137564501914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-42658992070553665902015-12-15T18:35:07.899-05:002015-12-15T18:35:07.899-05:00Tormenting Voice works because people often sandba...Tormenting Voice works because people often sandbag a land when they're playing off the top. But who hold three cards that they don't want in their hand? Seems like the window where you actually want to cast this is pretty narrow.HavelockVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698268009797139251noreply@blogger.com
