ART: OdinVanguard Created using Hexagon, Bryce7, and GIMP IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: “Today is a great day to be alive” “So make the best of it and bring some friends along to join the party!” -Will trigger GotP damage if you discard a GotP. Same for any related card in the future. -If you don’t have enough room in your hand, only 1 card will get drawn. -If you don’t have enough creatures, you will only draw as many as you have left (will not inadvertently cause deck out).

You know, combined with Sundial or Precognition in a rainbow deck, this card would allow for quite a hefty card-drawing speed for ... 4  + 1  per card and 2  per card for three turns for ... as many cards as that is. Which is substantially more than the norm, adding up to a speedy rush. I think the discarding requirement in this card may be a blessing in disguise as it frees up a slot in your hand to put another card in.

Yes, I was thinking it would add a very double edge feel to the card.
I think a simple combo would be with mindgate, at least for unupped meta, since that way you don't have to rely on a trio.
In upped meta, precog might work out okay, although sundial would still require a trio since is needed.

It can actually power itself since you are getting 2 creatures per discard... of course, you are essentially sacrificing half of your creatures to power it at that point.

I'ld be very curious to see how this works out. Milling for creatures could yield a speedy rush, but would also shred through your deck too. I'm hoping that helps balance out the draw potential to keep it from overshadowing hourglasses, etc.

GotP is discard fodder (free 13 dmg to my own face, yay (edited)!)
This deck should have more then enough dmg to kill a defenseless opponent long before deckout. However... is it really faster than the usual SoBra rushes?
Probably not , but it has a lot less drawbacks than SoBra and you could add lightnings and if you dont find a target for lightning you can just discard it. You may need  to adjust the quanta cost to be similiar to that of Hourglass. While Hourglass is designed for stallish decks, which can take an early tempoloss better than creatureheavy decks, discarding a card of your choice and drawing 2 for it is far better than just drawing 1 card. (you can run situational cards like weapons or purify, CC and PC and if you cant put them to use, you can just discard them without drawback)

Edit: Oops, I derped hard with GotP. Confused its mechanic with that of the original minotaur. Replace it with proper creatures like more frogs and probably cockatrice

[OdinVanguard]

Hmmm... so keep casting cost same for upped and bump activation cost of unupped by 1 then?
Seems reasonable... I actually was debating doing it that way to begin with but went with the current version to try and make it stand out from hourglass instead of line up exactly. For strategic originality purposes
I have no problem with that mod though, if it makes life easier for balancing.

Yes, thats very perceptive of you. Getting frustrated at having cards like that clog my hand was a major motivator for making this card.
