A lot of people say Megrim is stupid. I've used a deck built with Enchantresses and 4 Megrim and 4 Underworld Dreams. This card makes that a win with only 3 Mana costing cards.

Loved this card back in the day. You'd just hope someone playing blue didn't get a fresh hand of counter spells.

Not a bad card at all for its cost. Just too bad its banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage.

Ridiculous boost of power for a red deck. There is a reason why cards with the phrase "draw seven cards" dont come this cheap anymore. Reasons like "win here and now"..

Love the art, and the hidden meaning of the sybols:
Sword: You get stabbed to death.
Skull: You die.
cup: You drink poison.
Heart: You get a heart attack.
It's the grim reapers wheel of fortune.

"2R: Your opponent discards his or her hand, you both draw seven cards, and your opponent punches you in the face for emptying your hand before playing this."

It's a great card because it covers one of red's major weaknesses (running out of fuel late-game) and it screws with your opponent by making them draw a new hand, which is, if I'm not mistaken, unheard of among red spells and abilities. In effect, it's a powerful red card simply because its effects are so un-red.

Edit: Scratch that--Barbed Shocker causes hand manipulation too, but this is still much better.

I just found one of these at the local hobby shop common box for ten cents!!!! Score!! I hope all magic players everywhere get to have that feeling of exhilaration at least once in their lives! I love this card, and I can see myself entering magical Christmas land many a time utilizing it's bestowing powers.

Its funny how this made revised but Timetwister did not. Was the graveyard shuffle really that broken? Or was it the blue mana?

@TheWrathofShane

At the time of Revised, every color had its own powerful goodies that made Wheel of Fortune actually somewhat balanced...sort of like the old saying, "If everyone's great, then no one is." Mind Twist and Channel got reprinted in revised, too, for example.
