Psychic Vortex
Psychic Vortex is one of those cards that,
someday, will be looked back on as the card that
set the precedent for some extremely powerful
card. The idea of a cumulative upkeep of draw a
card is one that is very cool, but very
hazardous, so the first time they made it, they
erred very much on the side of caution. The
amount of cards this card can allow you to draw
gets ridiculous very quickly, and might be
decent in casual play, using some of the imprint
cards in Mirrodin block that allow you to
effective play spells from cards in play.
Otherwise, we’ll continue waiting for the good
iteration of this card.

Psychic Vortex
- Rare- WL
hey peoples, today we have a really strange
card: Psychic Vortex
now what makes this card so crazy to start is
its the only card with a POSATIVE cumulavite
upkeep. Which is the reason why i choose this
card for today.
this card is pretty much a one sided howlingmine
with a hideous drawback making this card almost
unplayable, but if you play it with something
like... crucible of worlds, then you got a
pretty nifty combo out there, as long as you
play your cards every turn you will have a a
free 2 cards everyturn with almost no drawback.
otherwise... its a crap rare =/
Ratings:
constructed- 2/5 nothing special here, not good
enough to make even tier 2
limited- 2/5 card advantage is good here, but
the land disadvantage can hurt a lot
casual- 4/5 a fun card that can have lots of
combos
final thought- if you want a ability like this,
stick to grafted skullcap
