Well, very interesting concept anyways, nice job. However, are you sure the price fits?

Adding a poll on this as we speak.

This is my one question which still remains unanswered because despite my own opinions, I know that I can't perceive absolutely every single situation this card can be used in, which is where the community's help is needed.  My reasoning for settling on the current cost was based on two possibilities:

1)  The cost of either is lowered.  Lowering the unupped version would obviously make it pointless to upgrade the card, so that's out the window.  However, decreasing them both even by 1 :light is where complications arise.  While I have no doubt that the mechanics of this card, and the card itself is balanced, I then had to ask myself if its use in any particular deck would be far overpowered than any others.  I came to the conclusion that this being used in a Speedbow would be on the borderline of being abused.  Reason being that having this card's effect be able to be used in these types of decks at the drop of 2 Supernova could be disastrous for opposing decks.

2)  The current price is, in my opinion, the middle of the road approach.  This card, though incredibly useful in certain situations, is also more than capable of being a double-edged sword if lady luck is not on your side.  Reverse Time effects would also counter this card with devastating efficiency.  Based on this, it would be an even greater blow to have wasted 7+/6+ :light for an ability which ultimately backfired against you.

These are my opinions, but I am more than willing to hear suggestions for any other circumstances I may have discounted entirely so long as they are coherent and completely plausible.  Otherwise, your votes are needed! :)

Can you use the card again after the 3 turns (and before stop drawing due to the second effect of the card)? In that case, would you draw again like a god or what?

This card's effect will not come into effect again until the 3 turn cooldown period (the turns where you draw no cards) has passed.  I have added a perfect example of this to the notes.

So you start with this card in a rainbow, and by the time you can't (double) draw anymore you have hourglasses to compensate! Might need a lower cost to work that way though, but nice idea :)

I still think this would be epic in a rainbow. Of course you're right Beef. It would have to be slightly lower cost for that to work well x]

I'm not sure if you're looking to find a way to buff the unupped one and still have the upped one be better but if you are you could lower the cost on the unupped one to 5 and lower the delay (turns with no draws) on the upped one to 2.

That said, I think the costs are just about right now. I definitely agree that the cost has to be at least 5 though.

There's one issue here... Spell with a countdown? Mechanic for that doesnt exist, and there is no way of showing how long the effect lasts. I'm pretty sure you'll have to turn this into a permanent, and define its interaction with Perma control cards.

(You could make it immaterial permanent though)

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.  Good point on the Immaterial part though, I'll get on that ASAP.  Done.
