Sorry - I used the search feature and did not see the thread already discussing this. Devs - feel free to delete this thread if you like.
Gorm - the consensus is that it is useless for a player played card, more or less exists for the AI to use it against you as a stop to players using cycling decks to easily win. Not a good direction if you ask me - a card that only works in the hands of the AI against the player. Course, no one will have this in their decks so it won’t be used by the AI either except for PVE event decks.
Would be great if you could take the abilities of this card, and replace Aven Mindcensors abilities with it.
Then we’d have a grief card, that still is playable
"Whenever your opponent draws a card, if it isn’t the first card drawn by your opponent this turn, the last card in your opponent’s hand is exiled.
If the idea is to punish players for cycling, then maybe make it more versatile by going after what cycling does: drawing a massive amount of cards. Not only could it hurt cycling strategies when the AI plays it, but also works for players against strategies involving cards like Days Undoing, Combustible Gearhulk, Clue tokens, etc.
I’m intrigued by mindset of someone who thinks this card might be a problem to a cycling deck. 3 different colors have cheap cycling cards that destroy supports, and New Perspectives and Hieroglyphic Illumination are regularly played cards that help you find them… and that’s not even including cards which don’t have the word ‘cycling’ written on them, like Pull from Tomorrow or Day’s Undoing.
[edit] Oh, and hey! Curator of Mysteries counteracts it, and also beats up your opponent for 6 damage a turn!
