It's a neat gimmicky card. Unfortunately, it
doesn't allow you to sneak up or surprise your
opponent. They get to setup and get the maximum
benefit when it goes off, just like you do. The
element of surprise that came from Wheel of
Fortune is definitely lost with this card. If I
were playing combo, I might try one or two of
these. But for now, I'm going to pass on this
one.
Everybody discards their hand and draws a new
one. This is a good way to get your opponents to
change their strategy. So what can you do with
it? Well, you can set up a Mindstab to hit them
the turn after. You can use it in a Madness
heavy deck to power out one huge turn. Or you
can just use it like Wheel of Fortune was used
once upon a time-- to play out your hand full of
burn spells and restock later. Have fun!

Constructed - Definitly will speed up any
Magnivore deck. Great for burns deck's.Will we
see a return of burn deck's with this speed? I
think and hope so.
Casual - Like I said great speed. I'll take 4 in
my burn deck.
Limited - A great way to hurry and get what you
need and in a way to get rid of your opponent's
hand and make them run through there deck. I
would 1 pick this.
Constructed - 4.5
Casual - 5 I'll add this with my Wheel of
Fortune's, Thank you.

Nearly every Wheel of Fortune variant that's
come along has been bad. And, in my opinion,
this hasn't changed. Wheel of Fortune always
produced an effect which was, on the surface,
balanced for the opponents. Sure, the intention
was to draw more net cards than your opponent,
but when it comes down to it, both players get 7
cards. That's a strong effect, but not one I'll
be willing to wait 4 turns to get. The great
part of Wheel of Fortune was that your opponent
didn't see it coming. You'd catch them with a
full mitt of cards and get a whole lot more than
they did. With this one, they're going to see it
coming. And that's going to be a problem.
While not as good as its predecessor, Wheel of
Fortune, at least Wheel of Fate’s suspend gives
you enough time to empty your hand before it
comes into play, and if you want, use Jhoira’s
Timebug to time exactly when you want your 7 new
cards. Don’t overlook this one, it’s not too
bad.

Wheel of Fate
A potentially good candidate for red decks, as
it refuels their hand, which runs out quickly.
Unfortunately, in that particular deck, this has
three things going against it. The first is that
it's slow, and against any deck with blue will
definitely be countered as they can see it
coming a mile away. The second is that it's a
turn 2 play, and you have better things to do on
turn 2 than play a card that won't even do
anything for a few turns. The third is that this
and Magus of the Scroll don't play nicely. It
might get a little bit of play in U/R decks, but
overall, I don't see it getting a lot of play in
constructed.
In casual, it's a more accessible version of
Wheel of Fortune. This'll get played.
In limited, it's still slow, and can hurt you
more than it can help you. It digs for your
bomb, but then gives your opponent 7 more
chances to draw a way to deal with it. No
thanks.

Happy November
everyone, I hope you don't have too bad of a
stomach ache after all the candy from yesterday.
Today's card is one of the 5 huge cards from
Time Spiral that require you to cast them via
their suspend ability.
Basically you play Wheel of Fate on turn two,
and then 4 turns later everyone discards their
hand and draws seven cards. The drawback is that
you have to discard your hand, but you do get
seven cards. However if you put this in a red
burn deck, by turn four your hand should be
mostly empty to begin with. So nothing to worry
about.

They all get the same reivew, because there
isn't a particular format that this doesn't
shine in. Granted you're also helping your
opponent, but if they have a full hand and have
to discard it, and you have an empty hand and
get to draw 7 cards, all the better right?
