Fair, Uncommon, 5b 5r

Discard all non-common cards from your hand.
For each uncommon - Stock +3
For each rare - Stock +6


This card would throw Nature far off balance. Nature presently makes summoning Rares very easy, but those Rares are expensive. With this card, you could cash them in for a realistic 15-20 stock. The cost of playing this card isn't even prohibitive as you don't have to spend any gems to pull it off. As soon as you draw another Uncommon Nature, possibly immediately as you're refreshing much of your hand when playing this effectively, you can have another Rare Nature in two tuns and be able to play it and draw another almost right away.

This is arguably effective with Illusion as well, though Illusion isn't kept in balance by featuring expensive cards, so I don't think it's as big a deal on that front.


TLDR version: This card would be a huge and unintended Nature buff.

Illusion keyword summons opponents rares, so they could be quite anything in terms of costs...

Yes, but Illusion cards are expensive by themselves, and Illusion hasn't anything like Dark forest or Deathwood shaman to start chain for free.
I agree with DPsycho. As Nature player, I must say that you just don't need ALL these rares. All-elemental, Apocalyptic rain, Forest dragon, Catastrophe - in most cases you need only one or two of it, others are just a deadweight because of their mechanics and cost. Discard 2-3 rares and 2-3 uncommons with this card - and you have free hand, great stock growth and perhaps some good Nature uncommons to start summoning again.

Then maybe let the enemy discard his hand of non-common and get stock for it?

Or maybe trim the gain? +3 for rare and +1 for uncommon.

I have 3unc, and 1 useless rare - so i will get +6 stock for 5b5r

I'd make this card working on both your and enemy hands, but with stock gain based on enemy's non-commons, not on yours.
Damalycus on 10:36, 1. Jun, 2011
Discard his cards, and get paid for that? :)

Maybe he gets your discarded, and you his?

We already have Micramix. I don't think that an uncommon with similar mechanics is good idea.
Damalycus on 19:51, 1. Jun, 2011
Now, I mean stock.
You get stockbased on enemy discarded, and viceversa.Micramix hasnothing to do with that.

This new version is certainly interesting. Titan decks would hate it, but that's true of every targeted discard. No complaints here.
