If you would draw a card, instead draw a card for each card you've drawn this turn.
I don't think this works. You can't draw the first card in a turn because you haven't drawn a card, so you instead draw 0 cards. Then the next time you draw will also be 0 for the same reason. Then you're just multiplying by 0.

I've got no idea what the emojis mean, but that's okay.

Also there are all of two Elves with wither and no Elves have lifelink at all.

Tradition!
It's a neo-Lorwyn card, after Oona is killed and fake Maralen becomes the new demigod of the plane. This statement makes more sense if you read the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor novels. :pensive: I miss the old fatpacks.

No lifelinking Elves in Shadowmoor (only three cards in the set have it), but there were some life gaining cards associated with Elves, so it didn't seem as much of a stretch.
