Card Text : Every time a player draws a card, that player must first discard a card from his or her hand. If there are no cards in player's hand, take top card from library and place it in the graveyard instead of drawing. This enchantment does not apply to the first card drawn by a player during the draw phase.
This card is very underrated and not used enough. Aside from shutting down your opponents ability and yours of drawing multiple cards a turn, it can combo with dozens of cards to lock down the board and cripple any player unprepared for such a play. The only drawback os the insane amount of enchantment/artifact removal spells that keep this card from getting the 5 stars it should deserve.
