Blue Enchantment

UU3

If you would draw a card, instead reveal the top two cards of our library, choose one, put that one into your hand, and put the other on the bottom of your library.

Yawgmoth's Bargain, it is not, but how much is something like this going to strengthen combo decks? Sleight of Hand isn't exactly a bad card, so giving one the ability to Sleight with every card drawn makes me wary of how abusable this is. As I said, it's not Yawgmoth's Bargain, but then, Yawgmoth's Bargain was obscenely powerful. Especially with Rector being the method of choice for getting enchantments into play, I wouldn't lose any sleep over this being costed at {4}{U}{U} OR instead of putting the card on the bottom of your library, removing it from the game.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Well the card is strictly inferior to cards like Bargain and possibly even Future Sight.  I thought it might be on the same power level of Future Sight, but more conditional on how your deck is built in some ways.

I agree. It's pretty much on par with FS.

I am skeptical about that, but you guys are the experts. I'll defer to your good judgement.

This would get pretty ridiculous when you cast a draw 7, you would have to take do the 7 "draws" step by step until all 7 choices are made. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just a REALLY powerful thing.

But bazaar decks don't tend to be around at 5 mana. Madness wants to kill people with creatures by then (or at least have a board position where this is irrelevant), and Dragon doesn't particularly want to be still playing either. It's fine as it is.

Name of "Mind Expansion" or something? I see this card as flavour-wise something like a brainwave - something where your brain is almost overflowing with choices. Still, not sure how useful this is as the card seems to be function-based over flavour-based.

I was asking for more input - my bad.  I want to know if we can up the power level at all.

Well it's hard to say, since there's no current wording post to let everyone know where we're at.

If you want to increase it's powerlevel slightly, add:

1UUU: Draw a card.

Does someone want to take over this card for smmenen? You'd have to make a current wording post and everything.
