I can just imagine the conversation at R&D.
"Yea, so since we all know Force of Will was really balanced, we are going to make a card that turns every single card in a person's entire deck into a force of will. It will be uber legit."
"Are you insane!!!! Don't you know people hate paying health? Obviously that was the biggest design flaw in force of will. This time, we will not repeat our mistakes. That monumental cost of 1 health will go away, and just to make it up to everybody who thought Force of Will was boring, we will make it discard to the grave rather than exile."
"Grooovy!'

A johnny dream card, so many combo decks can be built around this card with the only weakness being its prohibitive casting cost. A great example of a well balanced card.

God hand:
Swamp, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual, Conflux, Dream Halls, Show and Tell, any colored card.
- Swamp, Petal.
- Sac Petal, tap Swamp, Dark Ritual
- Show and Tell, Dream Halls.
- Discard a colored card, Conflux, getting Conflux, three Cruel Ultimatums, and another colored card.
- Discard the colored card, Conflux, getting Conflux, the last Ultimatum, and two other colored cards.
- Discard a colored card, Conflux, getting any five colored cards (counterspells, etc., though if your opponent didn't Force of Will your Show and Tell you most likely won't need any protection for the combo, since he obviously has no counters)
- Discard four colored cards that share a color with the Ultimatums, Cruel Ultimatum x 4. Turn 0 win.
Far-fetched, but fun as hell. Probably a beast in casual.

With the new Tamiyo, the Moon Sage this will be insane.

The only card that makes Conflux work, but combo those two in a 5 color deck and your wildest dreams come true. Basically says "Go grab yourself a Fusion Elemental Progenitus Child of Alara a second Conflux and then right when everyone is *** themselves in fear, grab yourself a Coalition Victory and win the match. If you don't have the basic lands in play yet, use the green from the first and second conflux in your deck to grab shard convergence and fastbond
as well as your coalition victory. Either way, this card was actually forged using Johnny's greatest hopes and dreams in combination with Magic Christmas land.

This card is very strong and even more so if you can get the cards back or even want them in your graveyard.
4.0
