Imprint - If a card would be put into your graveyard, remove that card from the game instead. (That card is imprinted on ~this~.)

You can't play cards that share a name with a card imprinted on ~this~.

Whenever you play an instant or sorcery spell, draw a card.

I absolutely love making draw engines and have had an idea like this brewing in my head for a little while. The imprint mechanic made it really easy to facilitate what I wanted in less text.

Unfortunately, I can't add this to my set as I don't want any Imprint cards in it and I already have a (3) casting cost artifact card drawing card.

Comments?

Sounds like [card]Bazaar of Wonders[/card] with draw. It seems a little powerful, especially since you can build a deck that has a lot of different cantrips that then become card advantage machines.

But then you're sacrificing redundancy, which really weakens your deck. I think it's actually really cool.

Yeah, for some reason the best cards get the least attention. Or at least that's what I tell myself whenever I add a batch of my own cards that get like six replies between the three of them.

I am afraid that card wouldn't do too much in type 1.

So?

Matt, I swear I don't know how you can get away with one word posts.

Anyway, thanks for all the input, guys. While I can't really put this card in my set as I already have an artifact card drawing engine (as I stated), I will consider it for an expansion ... or something.

I don't think his comment warranted more than that. For a comparative gauge of just how uninformed and uninsightful his comment was, this reply took twenty-seven words.

Hi ZoneSeek - It is MaG from BB speaking.

So everything that goes to the graveyard will become sort of "legendary"?  This can hurt you greatly without some removal of your own - and god forbid random LD on one of your basic lands.

Conclusion: This can probably cost 2.
