To be honest, I like this new mechanism. It makes cards like Danei (sp?) present and tribute much better. Really, the meat of any deck lies in the uncommons anyway with the rares just there to help (a lot) if you happen to get them. So t-up from me!

How does it make Danai Present better?

I think he meant that opponents cannot draw rares when Danai present is used on him.

but danai present is not in the list written on the first page...

The card sais random.
If a rarity is excluded, it's not random.

the point is that this new feature is applied only on discarding cards. Danai present is a replacing card.

Exactly, so it shouldn't be affected.

Fithz Hood is right. Recent change effects only cards that discard cards. Cards that use "replace" specify exactly what kind of card is going to be drawn.

After some analysis I came to conclusions that best way to improve the situation is not to add exceptions for specific cards, but to make a systematic change. I propose this:

Common cards won't be allowed to draw rares, Uncommon and Rares will be able to.

A card effect will still be able to override this rule in special situations when needed, although the only card that currently will use it is Evolution.

it's ok for me.

I assume you mean Common special card effects cant draw you rares. Simply playing a random common like Double wall can.

For balance purposes this is probably a sound solution, but as for inuitivity(sp?)...
Ah well, rtfm.

I agree, it's still unintuitive (unless every relevant common card has the information added to its card test), and I don't feel like it's actually fixing any preexisting problem! It just serves to complicate things.

For the record though, I at least dislike this option less than the current system.
