Draw Tax

Draw Tax

Trap/Continuous

When an effect is activated, or is currently active on the field, that would cause your opponent to add a card(s) from their Deck to their hand (including by drawing); your opponent must first send cards from their hand to the Graveyard equal to the number of cards that would be added to their hand. This effect is not applied if the effect would have your opponent send a card(s) from their hand to the Graveyard before adding a card(s) to their hand.




Basically, it works when these are activated:

Card Car D
Pot of Duality
Pot of Avarice
Appropriate
Stratos (plus RotA-esque cards)

Dark World Dealings, Broww, Snoww, etc.
Charge of the Light Brigade
Preparation of Rites (for the Ritual Monster from the Deck)
and others....


Doesn't work when these are activated:

Morphing Jar
Card/Hand Destruction
Gates to Dark World
Solar Recharge
Your own Dark Bribe (since Draw Tax is Spell Speed 2)
... and anything else I may be forgetting....

This does work with Dark Bribe with the current wording. It doesn't activate, it simply resolves like Counter Fairies.

I really don't like the card. Punishes many skillful cards that benefit consistency, not Main Deck material anywhere, really.
