The "in hand" at the end is unnecessary.

Does this affect only your hand or both hands? Perhaps what you meant was "Return to your hand..."

Same positions? Only replacing New cards?

and what's up when the discarded cards are more than 8?
e.g.: your opponent uses evolution and elemental storm

"Returns up to 8 cards discarded by your opponent's last turn." would be closer to what I assume your original intention was.

The text is still unclear as to whether this affects your hand only or both hands. Would playing this after your opponent played Wildfire gem restore only your own cards or the opponent's as well? I figure that only the former is meant, but the latter would be very interesting. Even more so if the opponent then also plays this card.

No, it can be even worse than chain Goblin Intruder.

Again, you would want to say "Return to" instead of "Return in"

Better now?

Yes.

8 posts and no discussion of whether the card is interesting or balanced? You guys are such pedants :P

Okay, I'll be the first. I like the idea. Discarders are a huge part of the game, especially in long mode, and especially with all the new ones that have been added recently (Thug, Desert Traveller, Conscript Army...). Being able to counter them would be interesting. However, I wonder if the card is a little too focused to be worth taking most of the time. Could it have a secondary effect if no cards were discarded last turn? Maybe give it the Restoration keyword?

I don't want to add a keyword because of Sheath your swords. But you gave me an idea...

Yeah, I see what you mean about Sheath. As it is right now though, the secondary effect is pretty weak. School of Restoration is common and does the same effect for the same resource cost, and also gives you tower.

How about this?

Sure, it seems pretty well balanced to me. In terms of flavour, the effects are kind of incongruous, but *shrug*.

The only suggestion I would make would be to take out the modes. Make it something like "Return to your hand... if none found, next card...". I think that makes it a bit simpler.
