Trying to show love to those underworld dreams, and Liliana's caress decks. Plus it could be a power house with the commander Nekusar, the Mindrazer decks. The idea is the card benefits the person victimized by it, but combo'ing leads to alot of fun. Have you ever wanted to kill your own creature?

Enchant Creature - (U/R)(U/R)
Enchanted creature attacks each combat if able.
For each damage dealt it's owner must draw a card and discard a card.
I am not sure on the power level, but the wording needs to be updated for the last ability. Something like: "Whenever enchanted creature deals damage, its controller draws that many cards and then discards a card for each card drawn this way". This ensures they only discard if they draw and they can't get "got" if something prevents them from drawing all the cards. It also ensures they discard enough cards if something increases the cards drawn.
It also follows the current templating to force them to draw and discard. Note that I retained your omission of "combat damage" which means this triggers on *any* damage, not just combat damage. Not sure if that is your intent but it is important to recognize.

If you do that it also stops them from discarding if they replace the draws with something that isn't drawing but still puts cards into their hand. The main culprit is dredge but cards like Abundance and Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar do the same.

Agreed. The OP will need to determine which side of the line they want to fall on to get the effect they want. Either approach has its advantage and disadvantages. If they want to still make them discard even if they didn't draw (which introduces issues with things like Notion Thief and new Narset) then they can just say "draws then discards that many cards" or "draws that many cards and discards that many cards". Or something close to those. Or they could make them discard first with "Discards that many cards and draws a card for each card discarded this way".
I thought more about this card and people are just going to put it on their own beneficial creature. Maybe it'd be better if instead of owner draws and discards a card of their choice. It should be made so everyone draws and discards a card of their choice.

Thanks! Now I just need to pray it gets made so I can have some fun.
