I like this idea because I love the concept of sacrificing stuff to gain stuff.

Unupped version looks really weak to me. You are basically paying 10HP and 2 :darkness for only 1 card. Upped version looks like something I could actually use, although it might be a bit OP, difficult to say. I mean you could potentially chain these like crazy and being able to play dozens of cards in one turn.

Why there "if possible" at the end. Isn't it a given that you can only draw cards when it is possible? I mean the other option would be this:

Permanently lose 10hp.  Draw 2 cards, even when it is impossible.
:)

Upped image and the text show different cost values btw. I'm assuming the image is correct.

Good card and would definitely be nice to have in the game.

Or the unupped version could feature a smaller health drain, to compensate for the reduced draw.

Thanks for the comments all.  I simply added the "if possible" thing to kinda clarify if you already had too many cards in your hand.  You only draw those cards if possible, otherwise they remain in your deck.  I was afraid that if I didn't, the cards would end up in card limbo or something like that.  Essentially, the unupped version is still weak?  I suppose I could change the hp cost up by 5 and add another card.  Upgraded I could add another 2hp to it as well.  I'll figure it out when I get home.

Also, I think the term "Reduce your maximum hp by ..." fits better, no?
