man, the "wisdom" mechanic really sucked. 9 times out of ten i'd rather have naturalize; or wear away if i'm playing an arcane deck.

This card is one of my favorites that I just can't ever find a justifying reason to play with. I really like the cantrip effect, but it's hard to make fit into a deck. This spell can only really kill small artifacts too, and when played with a bunch of spirit guys you want spells that are both proactive and reactive.

I like it and I frequently pull it out as a questionable inclusion into random green decks, but it never seems to make the final cut.

I'd want it to draw the card before counting your hand, just because it feels odd to have 5 cards in hand including this one to be able to destroy a 4CMC card, but that's still not really enough to make the card good...

Aaron’s Random Card Comment of the Day #25, 10/29/10

This card went through quite a few iterations.

1) 2Green Instant / Destroy target artifact or enchantment. If you have 7 cards in hand, destroy an additional target artifact or enchantment.
2) 2Green Instant – Arcane / Destroy target artifact or enchantment. If you have more cards in hand than an opponent, destroy an additional target artifact or enchantment.
3) Green Instant – Arcane / Destroy target artifact or enchantment with converted mana cost less than or equal to the number of cards in your hand.

My Multiverse comment on #3: “AF 7/1: I hate this.” Could have been for many reasons. Developer Randy Buehler added a mana to it.

4) 1Green Instant – Arcane / Destroy target artifact or enchantment with converted mana cost less than or equal to the number of cards in your hand.

Designer Brian Tinsman’s Multiverse comment on #4: “BT 7/20: Wow this feels like a horrible version of Naturalize. Can we... (see all)

It's not all downside, if you have an empty hand and a target, it cycles for 1GG.

Playable only in a splice-heavy deck, even then it should have a cost of 2G.

"In order to extract maximum value from your card, you have to do things you don’t want to, like hold a ton of cards in your hand."

Or, alternatively, DRAW a ton of cards, which is EXACTLY what I want to do.

Is it just me, or is the typesetting on this card a little... Unintuitive? I'd assumed the first sentence ended after "enchantment", and had to go back to figure out why there was a line break before "Draw a card".

What's worse, I like my version better...
