Not exactly good card draw, but still both red and white lack unconditional card draw options. I am just stunned they gave red white instant unconditional card draw.
This card is flexible. Saving your board from a wrath is cool. Instant speed blockers are cool too. Removal is useful as well. All four modes do something I can see wanting. A bit costly a five for any mode but as you get two modes, I can see me running it in commander as a flex choice. Yes there is better options for each mode but sometimes flexibility is key. OK, there really isn't better unconditional instant speed card draw in those colors, but that is only because both red and white sucks at unconditional card draw. I am surprised that is card actually can just draw cards.
I wonder which color allows for sacrifice to draw. I don't recall that ability on a red or white card. Seen it loads in black, and some on green, but don't recall it in ether red or white. Hopefully this is a new color ability.
