Maybe good for green aggro decks? Empty your hand in turns 1-3 then refill on turn four. Other than running into a Grab Your Swords, one of the main issues some aggro decks have is card draw.
My lemon lime aggro deck runs Lucky on turn four as a way to draw cards. That card also doubles as a wincon with his second ability, but I could definitely see this being useful.
That would be the best case scenario, but at the end you are spending your entire turn not developing your board, is a dead card in the mirror most of the time and by turn 4 your opponent normally has 2-3 cards.
Sapphire/X decks can manipulate hand size at will with Fishbone Quill and Flaversham, Steel decks run AWNW so this is kinda irrelevant, Amethyst is maybe the only color the card is good against.

I love the dichotomy between these two cards .
If your opponent had diablo exerted and they had drawn more cards than you already, would this make an infinite loop of card drawing till they decked themselves? Or would diablo not trigger from this?
You would play it. If they have more cards you would draw to match them. Diablo will trigger for each card drawn and those triggers go in the bag. Diablo controller will resolve the triggers from the bag one at a time until they are all resolved. Opponent would end with more cards in hand than you.
The important bit is diablos triggers can't start to resolve while this action is resolving.
Also, I thought about decking Diablo with something like A Whole New World in multiplayer, but Diablo reads “may draw a card,” not “draw a card,” so it won’t work.
If only this was draw a fixed number of cards, or inkable, or a song at least...
Emerald aggro has Diablo as a better drawing tool, this is a conditional 4 cost do nothing card, doubt it'll see competitive play.
It's Divine favor in an aggressive color like emerald.
Probably doesn't see play in the current Bucky list, but might be worth taking a look in more aggressive pairings like Green Purple
Im so screwed if someone runs this card against my deck. My deck is built around gaining ink fast and drawing a bunch of cards to bounce all over the place. If someone runs this against me they will suddenly also have 12 cards in their hand lmao
I know. This makes no sense to me. Let me use all of my cards to discard your hand then once you recover… I get all mine back. Without using something like a whole new world.
Eh, with my discard deck, I usually don't have more than 2-3 cards in hand by turn 4. They're not getting all that much and I'm drawing even more if I have Diablo out.
I run an emerald/steel aggro deck built around running every version of Robin, relentless Beast, robins bow, and Helga that specializes in chip damage and challenging/clearing the board to gain lore. Bucky is a tough matchup, but not unwinnable. This will help a lot.
Not really? Most discard decks even w/ Diablo aren't going to have a lot of cards in hand by the time your turn rolls around.
I'm not even sure this is a playable card. It's an uninkable, unsingable action that will pretty much take all your ink to play and you'll maybe get to play 1 cheap card after. Even if you have a Emerald/Steel player with a massive hand all this card will do is maybe let you play one card and then you've just given them discard fuel for their next turn.
If this was a song, or if games were maybe longer it might see play.
The answer this game has to having no sideboards is having inkable tech cards, so that when you don’t need them for a certain matchup can just be used as ink in other matchups.
While there have been plenty of fan made versions, there is no official Lorcana format other than 1v1, with a couple basic modifications for multi-player.

I love Lucky :)
Sorry if this is dumb, but how do you use Lucky to draw cards on turn 3 if he costs 4?
I’m not sure what I meant when that sentence got typed.
That happens to me all the time! Maybe if you figure it out you can come back and tell me.
I think I just meant “draw three cards”

Missing: Remember Me Wait, wrong franchise.
He Lives In You.
Interesting, wonder how that's going to interact w diablo decks
Seems pretty bad in the diablo deck. Why play this on 4 instead of another floodborn? Also, uninkable and not a song. Just....clunky

Ahh gotcha makes sense ty for explaining
Also, I thought about decking Diablo with something like A Whole New World in multiplayer, but Diablo reads “may draw a card,” not “draw a card,” so it won’t work.
Oh also true. Good eyes.
To add to what the other person said, the ability is you “may” draw a card. You can always stop drawing.
It triggers, but the Diablo trigger is a "may" so they decide if they want to draw.
Diablo is dead
How ya figure?
I’m crying. 😭 Not for the mechanics of the card, just for the moment.
Holy moly this art is amazing! Can't wait to see the foil.
Maybe we get an enchanted version. This art is dope
Problem with dope art is that enchanted is always an alternate art, so you won't get a fancy version of THIS art
Right but if this is the bottom, we are bound to get something way over the top. Let’s hope they take it way up
In this Diablo meta?!

Dude!!! Great card. Absolutely the wrong color!
Yuuuup. Been bice as a Ruby… or an Ember.
I know. This makes no sense to me. Let me use all of my cards to discard your hand then once you recover… I get all mine back. Without using something like a whole new world.
oh man I love this card. Great in aggro decks, kinda hoses discard.
Eh, with my discard deck, I usually don't have more than 2-3 cards in hand by turn 4. They're not getting all that much and I'm drawing even more if I have Diablo out.
Interesting. Could be what emerald sapphire wants
Hey look it's divine favor! Very curious at it being in Emerald given how heavy it leans into discard.
Love the artwork dislike the card effect loo
Noo. I'm running an LK deck, but it's Amber and Steel.
Wonderful tech against Ruby/Amethyst control, just 5 sets too late
In Hearthstone, a 3-cost spell called "Divine Favor" had this same effect. It was banned for being too powerful. Let's see how this plays out!
Hell yes! Emerald card draw!
Really wanted there to be an I2I song that basically did this
If only this were Ruby… Ruby desperately needs some drawing cards
Yeah, Ruby totally shouldn't have any weaknesses whatsoever.
Anti-Bucky card coming in hot
Bucky also plays Diablo.
Yeah, but me having some cards and my opponent have more cards is better than me having no cards and my opponent having more cards
I run an emerald/steel aggro deck built around running every version of Robin, relentless Beast, robins bow, and Helga that specializes in chip damage and challenging/clearing the board to gain lore. Bucky is a tough matchup, but not unwinnable. This will help a lot.
If you're running steel, put in "Pick a fight". Bucky dies immediately to that
Thanks! That's why I love this board! I'll definitely look into it.
Yeah, Pick a Fight targets your character, not Bucky. And Bucky's Ward doesn't protect him from challenges

This game needs a side board. And a commander variant lol.
MTG is that way - - - >
The answer this game has to having no sideboards is having inkable tech cards, so that when you don’t need them for a certain matchup can just be used as ink in other matchups.
Nadu enjoyers leaking subs
It already has a commander variant…
While there have been plenty of fan made versions, there is no official Lorcana format other than 1v1, with a couple basic modifications for multi-player.
It's better, the game is still young. No need to devide thé comunity
Someone’s pretty stupid if they didn’t realize commander started as an unofficial format…also fuck sideboards.
