Impressive hand-filler, but I'm not liking how just two of these could result in a permanent hand-lockdown on your opponent if you're good enough, and have enough turns. Hell, three of these would speed up the process.

[moomoose]

sounds about on par with nightmare paired with rewind/eternity, sadly.

anyway, the initial cost could be increased to slow down the number you can have in play at a time, especially early.

[Drake_XIV]

At least with Rewind, you are almost always guaranteed the opportunity to play the card again as well.

Personally, I like the idea, but I can't help but feel that it would be too easily abused.

[Nepycros]

Indeed, Rewind/Eternity doesn't mean you're gonna be stuck with cards you're not able to play. With this card in a / duo, you'd have limitless ways to add GotP to the opponent's hand with permanence.

This thing is essentially a slower, more powerful nightmare on a stick.

Nightmare a unplayable card + a couple of this = permanent draw lock.

[Nepycros]

Nightmare a unplayable card + a couple of this = permanent draw lock.

Indeed, as long as the opponent's hand is empty. With enough time and at least two of these, you don't even need Nightmare.

[Drake_XIV]

And in some ways, this is better than Nightmare.  No need to wait for the opponent to empty out at least half of his/her hand to make it effective.

[RRQJ]

who cares about gotp, just chuck this in a mono light deck with dragons (or maybe archangels, since you can get them out faster).  As long as your opponent doesn't have a way to generate light quanta quickly, keep clogging his hand with dragons/angels.  And since it's a mono deck, you can probably get the lock out much faster.

[Rutarete]

I think I would be less worried about this being abused if the casting cost was 5 or 4 or if the ability cost was 3.

[ARTHANASIOS]

 If people feel the idea wil become abused, then we may just rise the cost of the ability to 3 |2 and the healing to 3 hp per usage.
