Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	Limited play only. Booooooo bad card draw! Pwn'd.

Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	but 5 mana for 3 cards? is it really worth it? i like the instant part, but i just can't imagine spending 5 mana for 3 cards. Pwn'd.

Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	very true. now that i think about it it's not so horrible. i like the fact that using fetches on your opponent's turn is actually something meaningful. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	come to think of it, i never liked mind spring. i'm torn between like and dislike for this card. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	and this is a strict upgrade over mind spring. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Josh Hendricks Member Since: 8/7/2008	Keep in mind that the only other real instant draw spell in Standard right now is Esper Charm. Considering you have to run three colors to use that, having a mono blue method of instant card advantage is pretty sweet. It's also the same cost as Mulldrifter but I'm not sure you can make any meaningful comparison between those two cards. "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	if it cost one less mana and was an uncommon or rare, i would be completely in love with this. That being said, it will probably only ever be a 1 or 2 of in most decks because of mana needs. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	and the fifth turn in this current format is a very important turn. you don't want to waste time casting this spell when you should be playing sphinx of lost truths instead. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Josh Hendricks Member Since: 8/7/2008	true dat. But if this is our common card draw, maybe there will be a better uncommon or rare draw spell in the set. "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." Barack Obama
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	i'm crossing my fingers. jace is pretty sweet, but very fragile at the same time. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Ben Warren Member Since: 3/18/2008	it's good to see blue getting some love, at least. Pwn'd.
Date Posted: 1/13/2010 Posted By: Matthew Ratz Member Since: 2/29/2008	this card seems pefect for control. Sit back with your hand of counters and when they don't play anything, or nothing threatening, I'll draw three cards. Of course if control is too slow in standard, that may be an issue.
