Should be a black card. You haven't been paying attention. White does not get card draw unless it is in the form of cantrips or if it requires the decks to be built in a very specific way tied to artifacts or enchantments (or subtypes thereof.) Oh you :P , I was just being silly. Still, an interest...

Thank you both for elaborating. In honesty, I was having difficulty in parsing Rosewater's explanations and rationale for white draw, so I mostly came up with this design experiment hoping someone could explain more clearly why these cards wouldn't be printed under the current philosophy. It really ...

Hmm, interesting points. But Tactful Negotiator, unlike Hullbreacher and Notion Thief , does not "steal" the opponent's draw, just compensates everyone else. And since the card lacks flash, the punishment/tax is easy avoid, by simply withholding all your card draw until you get rid of it....

Tactful Negotiator might be able to be printed, although you would need to format it a bit differently - as written, it goes trivially infinite in multiplayer.

Not in white it couldn't. As a blue card, yes. But white? No.

Could you please elaborate more? I am honestly interested.

I was thinking of wood shop class in school and by extension objects made out of wood.

You can do "Vanishing" if you so choose instead.

In which case, Megiddo's entry is even more baffling. I'm sure there's is a rational explanation, though.

JSYK there's no expectation here that IIWs have anything to do with the challenge or card.

I think they just mean they couldn't think of anything to write, so they just moved on.
