New Ancestral Recall?!

Rise of Eldrazi has a blue spell
that cost U and has the text: "Draw three cards." It's not a reprint.

[Dan Barrett]

"The cost as printed on the card is U. The sentence "Draw three cards." is a sentence in the rules text. Is there more text? Maybe."


"No, you don't have to discard any cards. When the spell resolves you are up three cards."

[Thomas David Baker]

I love it when they nod to old cards in new cards.

I'm thinking it's probably either:

Ancestral Fuckwit
U
Draw three cards. You lose the game.

OR

Expensive Recall
U
Draw three cards. Your life total becomes 1. Exile your library.

They'd obviously never print a straight "draw 3" without either a hideous drawback or a massively restrictive condition on casting. I'd guess you have to sacrifice 3 permanents as an additional cost, because that would play well with the set theme of creating Eldrazi Spawn and then sacrificing them.

[Gary Lynch]

Yeah some rediculous drawback is probably the case.

Could be something like ancestral vision. Draw 3 when you have ended the turn 3 times.

Maybe it will be... a sorcery! :-O

At a guess, it could have an additional cost of sacrificing a creature (similar to Bone Splinters)

Drawback - mythic rare and £50 price tag?

[Simon Baldwin]

Thinking about it, "draw 3, sacrifice an Island" or "Draw 3, skip your next turn" seem almost plausible.
