Wow this card must have been designed by hippies... "Hey man... Like we shouldn't be hurting each other man... why can't we all just get along and have a good time man... like were just being pawns for corporate gains man... we should just sit around and smoke pot and smell bad man..."

Goddamn hippies, get a job and take a shower.

In many ways the worst card in all of magic, as it is perhaps the only card to date that works in a way to prevent you from winning the game.

Play this card to get around Platinum Angel.

There are plenty of cards that set up alternate win conditions, but are there any others that force a draw like this?

By the time you cast this and it resolves the game is probably not a draw...
0.5 out of 5 normally, but since it' so incredibly unique and has great art it gets 2/5.

Might be funny in a Shahrazad sub game. If tourment games consider both players losers if the game is a tie then what if one person is running a Platinum Angel?

One of the weirdest Magic cards ever printed, I can't see why anyone would actually play this...An 8 CMC doesn't help matters...

Why do all of Legends' cards' art suck?

It is very good for ending the casual group or team game that refuses to progress though, tournament use not so much. MIght work well with the clash mechanic.

And BTW not all art from Legends is awful, I submit Ærathi Berserker for your visual consideration.

This card DOES suck sooo bad! Who wants to draw?? I guess if your going to lose! And at the same time, if you know your going to lose and you want to draw instead, you have to wait three turns! This card is sucky!

@Fragskull . . . . Your such a douche bag. That's all I'm going to say.

Wow.
It's like this card was specifically made for people who want to break the Swiss system.

And that's terrible.

In a game that's going way too long and just refuses to end, show and tell this in to play, then clockspinning with buyback to pull off one counter, then clockspinning to draw it out.

Heh heh, what may be the most annoying card ever. A long, grueling, many-hour game...

...and it's a draw. Simply disgusting. 5 stars!

1) Lotus Petal, Swamp

2) Tap Swamp, cast two Dark Rituals, crack the Petal for Blue. That's BlackBlackBlackBlackBlackBlue in your pool.

3) BlackBlackBlue, Show and Tell, place Divine Intervention on the battlefield.

4) BlackBlack, Vampire Hexmage. Sac the Hexmage.

Turn one draw. のワの
