[Gatecrash] Whispering Madness

Sorcery
Each player discards his or her hand, then draws cards equal to the greatest number of cards discarded this way.
Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

Huh, they finally made "spellchantments."

[Thrillho]

I just said this in the chat, but I'm worried that all of the cards are going to be crappy, overcosted, or made to be bad because now they're Sorcery speed. But also, the ability is potentially completely busted. It's really just a matter of what spells we're given and also how often creatures "encoded" with it are going to hit. It is also very likely going to be something you want to attach to Geist of Saint Traft.

Also, assume there's going to be a "Draw a card." at 1cc or "Draw a card + something else" at 1U/1B/UB/(U/B)(U/B) that will probably be the most playable one of the cycle.

Also, got it in at the same time as MTGS. Getting good.

Nice mill tech, I must say. Another good Johnny card. Remember: I say that as a casual player.

What is up with the art?

[Thrillho]

Skeleton ghosts are whispering things in that dude's ear and it's making him mad.
Duh.

[Shalako]

You don't have to exile it from your hand for the Effect?

You have to play it then Exile it as it's coming down to attach it right?

Looks like one of the cards they used to do where the art was based on a person.

The effect of the spell resolves and then you can exile it "encoded" on a creature.

[Shalako]

Oh would you look at that there is a "Than" there.

That's way better then I thought.

Still Mill and still Bad. But Better.

[Pendulum]

Wait, no, he's drawing the skeletons, which then come to life and tell them how to draw them.
His right hand irks, me, it looks like it belongs to a Powerpuff Girl.

[Kaitscralt]

I like it. Not necessarily this card, but this ability is hard to not be interested in.

[iamabadman]

ENCODED!

This could turn out to be the most skilled intensive mechanic of the block. I approve.

[Yannaria]

this mechanic has serious potential.
