Broken Pot?

Normal
Design: A white pot with two handles, and a benign face.
Effect: Draw 2 cards. Your opponent draws 1 card. You cannot activate another Spell(s) this turn.

Fairly decent. Certainly balanced, since it ends up as a +0 from what I see. Not as useful as Duality, but fairly playable. I rate 8/10 since it's basically Pot of Greed with a negative effect.

[dogfish44]

Yeah, it ends up being +1 each.

I can see this being used in the anime though.

Reasonable powered, a good card. Nice to see a card which isn't incredibly restraining, and would actually be useful.

9/10

What you have to consider when making a draw card is not balancing its effect out as much as stopping the user from using it as an FTK or OTK buildup card. That's why Allure had a "discard all cards" effect along with Into the Void, Duality had a "no Special Summon" effect, and all those other draw cards had a limit.

Thanks for the good rates peeps. However Slayer does make a good point.

(Looks at Duality, then looks at the duel in my fanfic I used it in... oh f*** sake!!!)

Yeah it's a valid point, you could throw Treasure of Heaven into that argument as well (another draw card I messed up in fanfic with ). So obviously as I despise OTK duelists, a second drawback is required.

No more Spells for the rest of the turn?

Actually had another idea now, thinking Cobra Jar... hmmm....

[.Rai]

No. Despite this being overall a +1 (or +0 if you include the opponent's advantage), this would be Semi-d or Limited in no time. If you're playing an OTK deck, it really doesn't matter that your opponent draws a card from this if you're going to win that turn anyway.

Needs a drawback. Seriously.

Maybe make it a Trap Card.

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

The last thing I want to do is encourage OTKs.

No Spell drawback that was suggested in 5th post added.

I think it looks okay now, though it would likely be limited still... If not still bannable. No idea how to balance it, however.
