1/4/2017 - Mad Whispers means you never have to choose whether to draw cards yourself or ding your opponent for 2 life with Sign in Blood. Symmetry!
It's as cheap as possible since it's card disadvantage, but could still be worthwhile in a very aggro strategy, or a mill deck.
Probably broken in older formats, storm doesn't care if it's giving an opponent cards if it's casting one mana draw twos.
ReplyDeleteMuch safer at 1B as a black version of Vision Skeins
Also, great art
Deletefor an uncommon or maybe rare scary take on this:
ReplyDeletePay any amount of life and draw 3 cards.
Each other player who pays the same amount of life also draws 3 cards.
Mana cost?
DeleteLetting your opponent draw a bunch of cards doesn't actually hurt you that much if it's early game and they'll be forced to discard them at end step anyway. (See: Goblin Guide.)
