Instant is the best way to go, it allows more creative usage of the card (e.g. EoT, combat phase, etc.). While sorcery will make it less (maybe I should use the word 'not')playable in high level tournament.
I solely believe this should be a blue card not a blue/white card, as the effect seems to fit blue better. Although, yeah~ it is 'sort' of like a damage prevention but the text "prevent blah blah damage" is not in the text. Instead, "draw blah blah cards" is used.
Plus, it seems to be for game manipulation which is so~~~~ blue.
P/s: This card is not taxing both player so it cannot be white. Still it can't convince me.
I'm looking forward to the cycle after Kamigawa (Ravnirca?). The art look more promising, and a shift back to the old magic art style. Which will be refreshing for my eyes. My eyes is about to bleed from all the Kamigawa and Mirrodin cycle arts.
My guess for the "major" ban is either the artifact lands or all cards with affinity. Anyway, affinity will be killed totally and will not be given any chance of surviving the March banning.
So we can forget about playing the deck after March, to those who still have the chance of playing it, play as much as you can. As it's definitely going to be a "bye bye" for affinity.

Can anyone tell me where this picture come from. It's very interesting, and I'll like to know. Like... is it an anime, manga, etc. and who draws it?
IPod is good if you have the money to spare as you can do wonders with all the tweaks available but if price is a concern and you still want an IPod, then get IPod Shuffle.
By the way, I agree that IPod is way too expensive (that's not including the accessories you'll most probably get if you have an IPod).
If you can wait, you might get a better deal, as the new series of Media Player (MP3 + Video) might have a comparable price to IPod.
Anyway, all these portable device have one major weakness ~ lousy battery life, if only it can last for a week without charging.
well, i'm not too sure here, but in some other forums, you would (probably?) get a spam warning for this one...
that's because it's just like saying "it's bad", without explaining why...
on a side note, this card sucks...
the art is bleh...
the ability is bleh...
and it's sorcery, bleh...
and the fact it's uncommon... bleh... :puke:
(and a janky one at that too, well we can't have skullclamp all the time can't we...)
Reasons?
L - Lack of value, another card which nobody will want and end up piling up in the corner. R&D save the tree, please.
O - Overcost by R&D to prevent it from being abuse, R&D might as well don't print it in the first place. (R&D, don't you have other creative ideas, other than this? ;))
U - Unpredictable (randomness) is not something you want to play in blue and to make it playable by forcing the whole deck with 80% high cost or using other card to make it playable. (You might as well don't play it)
S - Sorcery is a banned for blue, unless it's "powerful effect"/"winning method"/"reasonable cost". I see none.
Y - Yawn... boring similar ability "draw card equal to cc"
Happy?:halo: (Never know, I need to justify myself for posting something *sigh*)
a new version of Ponza will be a big thing in this cycle, and this card is to save the trouble to pack non-land destruction cards to handle other types like Enchantment, Creatures, Artifacts etc. With some sort of iteration method, this will be a nightmarish deck to deal with.
This actually open up opportunity/answer for pure red deck against enchantment. No fair.
NOTE: Enchant land (Genjus) will really get out of control... be prepare to face it.
This cycle got Samurai, Akki, ninja, nezumi... but there are lacking one more class which quite common in japanese fantasy setting... ronin. My guess is it will be in this expansion or the next one.
Don't you think so?
My mistake. Forgotten that ronin already available in CoK. Cheers.

Seems a bit dissappointed.
