I'm probably going to be posting a few cards in the near future for discussion, not to proselytize their inclusion, but to explore interesting cards that may be flying under the radar, and in doing so create discussion.
So, hidden gem? niche favorite? steaming pile of dog crap?
Funny, I was just thinking of making a SCD thread for Parallax Tide. Anyways, P-Nex seems underwhelming compared to P-Wave, since it lacks the synergies that make the Wave great and it exiles only at sorcery speed. I think it would be much more viable if it could exile at instant speed. Fun to target yourself before a Balance, though...
Ya, if you're removing enough cards, they're not gone long enough, and if you're removing fewer cards, you might as well just make them discard them forever. I think it's bad.
I think that if it were Fading 6 it would be good. Taking out 4 cards on turn 3 (or 2) for 3 turns would be rough to deal with, but alas that is not what it is. I think the Mind Rot comparison is pretty accurate.
As for the original comparison to Stunted Growth, Stunted Growth is so much more insane because it removes three draws from your opponent.
This doesn't, it doesn't even make them discard them (as they get them back whenever it leaves, in addition to drawing new cards).
Stunted Growth is a much better card than this and probably doesn't see play outside of some 720s, so this card is probably never going to see play in regular cubes.
I kind of get a Stunted Growth vibe from this card.

Discuss.
But I'm not sure if it's worth it.
