I swear I first read it as Wingbonger...something tells me that "As Long as Wingbonger is paired with another creature, both creatures have weed." wouldn't be as good. Seems solid for limited.
Need to check up rules but... can't cast instant after draw phase and before first main phase right?
Both players get priority during the draw step. The first thing that happens is that the active player draws a card and then each player can cast spells. That means you can use this to make them discard the card they just drew if it is the only card in their hand.
An instant speed two for one that can affect the board? Sign me up for four copies. Let's see if I can brew up a Grixis list to take advantage of this.
Ok, first off, destroying an artifact is the most irrelevant thing right now. Maybe some kickass equipment will come with BFZ, but for now it might as well be 3 choices, which limits it way more than the other commands.
Returning a creature card from the graveyard to the hand? Well that's cool...except that because we're in RB, this might as well be a worse version of the Ojutai Command's first ability. I mean, sure, you can get more expensive creatures back, but at the same time, THIS SHOULD BE AN AGGRO DECK! At the very least, despite everyone wanting to make a Rakdos Dragons deck, the dragons just won't be there to do it. Maybe in a Jund Dragon deck, sure, but at that point you gain access to spells I'd rather take over this crap. So in the end, a Rakdos deck will likely look super aggressive, which makes this super lame. NEXT
Instant speed discard is fine and all, sure, but it's also extremely poor. Your opponent is making the choice, so early game they'll just discard something irrelevant, and lategame, you better make lucky guesses at what their topdecks are for this to matter. Unless you can make them discard the spell they're casting in response to them casting it, this choice is really bad.
And then shock is nice. For one mana. Even with another one of these terrible options, this is just so BAD. All the other commands are super playable, and this one is just so god awful that I'm hoping that Dromoka isn't just STAND UP AND TURN AROUND, END YOUR TURN IMMEDIATELY, CONCEDE THE GAME, OR TEAR YOUR MOST EXPENSIVE CARD IN HALF. PICK 3. Like, this is so utterly awful.
good card, solid for a variety of formats. I'm going to run in blue, either counter their spell or punish them with this. I've been waiting for a card like this. I like Silumgar's command too, for the same reasons.
Call me a hipster but I've been doing instant discard on draw phase in pauper cube with Funeral Charm and Piracy Charm. Since its not a targeted discard, I don't think it's going to be great.
I like the other abilities though.

I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums

Kolaghan's Command 1BR
Instant
Choose two:
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
Except so much better :P, this card is all value, Jesus...
Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
Find me on TappedOut also!
Trade with me!! Always in search of cards!
I don't know what deck wants this but dayum this card is good.

Yes you can cast spell during the draw phase after they draw a card.

So this is an auto 4 in my Grixis and/or Jund deck right now. Every mod should create card advantage
You see their top deck. They draw something good. "Nope.. you discard it"
Um....
I hate it.

Blightning and Kolaghan's Command don't go into the same types of decks, so the comparison isn't really accurate.
This is a much more accessible instant speed discard than Mardu Charm is, although the other modes are solid as well.
The thing I'm most glad about is the CMC.
