Today we have
the common Arcanist tactic Obsessive Compulsion.
Some of us can relate better than others… ;)
For a cost and threshold of 1 you get the granddaddy
of all draws. There are many other cards that allow
you to look at and/or rearrange the cards on the top
of your deck, but none allow you to then draw the
card you just set yourself up with. And if you
didn’t like any of the 3 you just looked at, put
them at the bottom of your deck (in the order of
your choosing) then draw what’s behind door number
4…the mystery card!
This one’s really simple and straight forward. While
The Tournament Faction allows you to draw for a cost
of 3, with Obsessive Compulsion’s net cost of 4 you
get to choose between 3 cards (or door number 4!).
I’d pay that cost every day of the week and twice on
tournament day!
In limited, where your deck can be as few as 34
cards (after your starting 2 resources are put into
play and you open the game going second with 9 cards
in hand) you get a 300% greater chance of drawing
the card you want. In constructed, I’d probably use
tutor ability over this, but how many times have you
left one resource open by the end of your opponent’s
turn?
