[Written] Future Greed - Generic Draw Spell Card

[Abdelrahman]

Future Greed / Normal Spell

During your next Standby Phase: Draw 2 cards, then banish 1 card from your hand. You can only activate 1 "Future Greed" per turn.

Creating a card with the intention of having it go anywhere on the list is not a good habit to maintain, since a balancing factor will be something outside the card's design itself.

 

Still, this feels like an okay card that won't even get Semi'd. Generic draw spells are a problem when you consider Library-related FTKs, but when it's a delayed draw it conflicts with the explosiveness of such decks.

[Abdelrahman]

I figured generic draw power shouldn't be unlimited, but considering how slow this card is, I think removing the Semi-Limited status should be ok for now.

Like Gadjitron mentioned, you shouldn't be making cards with the intent for them to end up on the banlist, but it helps to keep in mind other cards/Decks that might push it to the banlists, even if it's not list worthy alone.

 

But yeah, it's a delayed draw for the most part and lacks the instant reward of what some other power spells do. If this were to be released, it'd be fine at unlimited status. Might be fine for slower Decks that can wait a while for the free draw, however RML and other things that focus on drawing don't really want it. I don't really think it'll work well in the meta, considering such Decks like BEs, PK Fire or whatever exists already have faster methods of getting cards they want (and favor having the instantaneous draw power). To be fair, mostly all Decks want quick draws.

I changed it to a draw 2 and send 1 card so is it better now?

[Abdelrahman]

Bump.

[Abdelrahman]

Bump.

[Abdelrahman]

Changed the card's last part of the effect from "send 1 card from your hand to your Graveyard" to "banish 1 card from your hand". Also, bump I guess.

[Abdelrahman]

Come on guys. Bump.

[Abdelrahman]

Final Bump.

[Trebuchet MS]

I was a lot more comfortable with the draw 1. Draw 2 + banish 1 means you get a few more cards to rummage through and filter out things you don't need. Now, banish interactions are rare but not insignificant so it can be beneficial all-around in the right Decks, but better this than Graveyard interactions which are much more commonplace.

[Abdelrahman]

So ?/10 ?

[Trebuchet MS]

I do not normally give numerical scores. Card is still fine, just that I feel the change from the single draw was unneeded.

I think the card is fine, not broken especially in the state of the game today, its no where near is bad as pot of desires in terms of broken so i wouldnt mind this card.
