If this and Glimpse the Impossible are part of a new trend in how red’s temporary draw mechanic is going to work, I don’t like it. Deciding whether to use those cards, or whether the better play involves letting them go, is skill-testing. Giving a consolation prize if they’re not used feels like hand-holding.

This is part of a larger conversation one could have about all the times Wizards has said “we stopped using that drawback because players didn’t like it,” seemingly forgetting about the fact that said drawback was the only thing keeping otherwise overpowered cards fair. That’s how power creep happens.
