Psychosis Crawler 5
Artifact Creature - Horror
Psychosis Crawler's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your hand.
Whenever you draw a card, each opponent loses 1 life.

These seems promising. Maybe in some type of Stax list with Bazaar, or in a new blue shop list with the new Ichor Wellspring combos people are thinking of http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=41799.0

I would think there are enough draw spells in vintage to make this card playable (but not that good to build a deck around it).

Wow, this card looks quite interesting.  In a bazaar/uba mask build, its a very nice win condition.  Also it does some very fun things with Teferi's puzzlebox......

Hmm, you are aware that it's going to die FAST if you have Bazaar and Uba in play? Even with Bazaar alone, usually artifact decks want to play card quickly to get an early position, I can't imagine this being bigger than 4/4 most of the time.

So basically it's a 3/3 or 4/4 for 5 mana, and it hits your opponent for 1 extra each turn?  Color me unimpressed.

How do you plan on keeping this alive with Uba bazaar action? How do You plan on drawing cards with Uba?

Does this thing die if a Draw-7 is played? Since you need to discard your hand first usually.
Same question for Puzzlebox

No.  It won't check for power and toughness until the entire spell/effect has resolved.

Yea sorry about the bazzar thing, little der moment there, but teferi's puzzlebox is still an option, and don't forget it makes Gush a LOT less effective.

Seems like you should play Gush yourself to get the most out of this guy  Smile

Oh, a card that rewards you for having lots of cards in your hand......It's like Psychatog.....if it had been printed in Fallen Empires....

I see this in some sort of Twisted U/R Mindmoil deck.

...Go on, look it up.  I'll wait.

...Done?  See the beautiful symmetry between the two effects?  Add in Winds of Change, Wheel of Fortune, and other Draw7 effects, and you have a comedy Vintage deck, just waiting for lolworthy wins.

Or we can use the good old "underworld dream"... It was a nice card 15 years ago.
