Money Lendings of the Emperor

[Ultimagamer]

This is a card idea I had for more slower plays. Might make for some interesting interactions, like chicken game but not as bad

 

Money Lendings of the Emperor

 

Spell - Continuous

 

During each draw phase, the turn player may activate one of these effects;

 

- Draw an additional card, then discard one card

- Skip your normal draw, then your opponent skips their next draw even if this card leaves the field

 

You can only control 1 "Money Lendings of the Emperor"

Way too risky for the user, IMO. I mean, the opponent will be the first the use the effect unless you somehow activate this during the opponent's Turn1, and if he/she has a killer hand, he can choose to lock both player's card draws and potentially secure the game by cutting your resources. That, or use the extra draw to bet on a better hand and improve his/her chances of setting up a killer board. Even if you would be able to draw and discard through this card's first effect, that's still 1 less card in your hand unless you discard a floater card like Shaddoll Hedgehog/Beast, Trick Clown and whatnot.

 

I guess it's fine a as casual, for-fun card, but as for ideas to improve it, I don't have any at the moment because if you were to make it any faster, or use the effect during the turn you activate it, then the above situation reverses and you would be the one limiting the opponent.
