Is this Broken

[Thorn]

If it had a tap to activate, would be ok. I mean tap AND pay the mana...

Lol I know.
This card is insanely good.

[Mentonin]

Besides, on mono blue control, you usually have mana on the end of your opponents turn. This card has instant speed, which means the saved mana(for counters, or other instants, or maybe just to scare) won't be unused if you have nothing to respond to

It would have to tap to be fair. Even then I'd put out 2 of them. It has no real drawbacks other then cost.

When I saw the title, I was expecting pics of an accident or something. 🏨🚑😷😲

{Altar's Reap} is 2 cards for 1&{B} + sac a creature. Not a bad deal with tokens or Dry Bones {Reassembling Skeleton}.

Yeah, but you can't use it over and over again. And again. And again. And many times a turn. And many turns

Very true. I was just pointing out another 2 mana/draw two card. The card mentioned by OP is certainly much better.

Uhhh broken?!!???

Its like a worse version of {Necropotence}.

Why is it so good? I dont really get it

[Ghetto Pass]

Drawing cards always gives you an advantage.  Drawing cards like this, repeatable, for vey cheap mana cost, is absurdly powerful.

{Necropotence} let's you pay life for card advantage. It's the most efficient source of card advantage in MtG. You have 20 life, use it as a resource.

{Necropotence} is better or worse than this?

[Mentonin]

{Necropotence} is better or worse than this?

In a bit longer game or versus burn, this is better. For a quick victory, necropotence should be better. But blue control usually tries to make the game longer so he can have fatties and the opponent have empty hands...

[Dudecore]

{Necropotence} would be better still. This card would still be broken, bust not nearly as broken.

Yeah I agree with this.

[Brandalog]

I don't think that's any more broken than {rhistic study}

[Dudecore]

{Rhystic Study} is not a balanced card though. It doesn't guarentee card advantage, but it's still an awesome card
