Card of the Week Contest #379: I couldn't think of a name

Rhetoric Filibuster

Conspiracy

(Start the game with this conspiracy face up in the command zone.)


At the beginning of your end step, you may remove Rhetoric Filibuster from your card pool for the rest of the match. If you do, take an additional turn after this one.

Removing something from your draft pool for the duration of the match is a cost that hasn't been explored so far. Feels like something you'd want on big effects.

I hope there's no basic land in the pack, then. Also, one, I think you'd need to reveal the card you were recording. Two, effects like these usually include every copy on cards named such. Look at similar cards in Conspiracy sets to see the wording they use.

1. Draft Matters cards always replace basic lands in boosters.
2. In this specific case, revealing the noted card during draft would be mechanically unworkable, as it would allow the effect to be circumvented before the game even starts. However, I should probably add "secretly" to its effect to be consistent with other similar cards, and specify that it is revealed when it enters the battlefield.
3. ...I actually have no idea what you're talking about with "effects like these usually include every copy on cards named such".

Well, the new version already addresses that, so it's a non-issue.

No it does not. Your wording is still wrong as it still doesn't check for "cards named CARDNAME", it JUST cares about THAT SPECIFIC CARD, which again, impossible.

EDIT: If you're like me to reword your card so I can show exactly how you're doing this wrong, feel free to ask.

Please try reading the example cards I gave you. For example, is Animus of Predation's oracle text: 
Or is it
Your current formatting is the first option, which is wrong and does not work.

Wary Warrior  (W)
Creature - Human Warrior  (Uncommon)

Vigilance

As you draft it, you may reveal Wary Warrior. If you do, it perpetually gets +1/+1.

Keep your eyes open!

1/1

Someone saying you are wrong is neither condescending nor pedantic. I'm sorry me trying to teach you an aspect of the game you've overlooked was taken as such, though I feel this interaction says a bit more about you than it does me.

I think you may technically need a "You" in there ("cards you removed from the draft" instead of just "cards removed from the draft"), unless you want all Swords drafted by all players to feed into one another, which... would be a bold move, but I think would technically work?

Draft matters cards are hilariously finicky because the game really doesn't like having effects from outside the game matter.

Honestly, even with the "power" option toned down, and even at Rare, this might still be too strong a card. Even without the choice of modes, really. Any individual option on this card gives you a very mana-efficient draw that can fit into any deck. Ten life and a 2/2 on turn 3 in any deck? A 6/6 at turn three in any deck? Though honestly, most of all, I can't see very many people choosing other than Knowledge. Even without it getting a 2/2 body on the field, two-card draw with no downsides on turn three, with any mana, in any deck is so good that this card would always be the first or second draft pick of any pack it appeared in, hands down. No matter what you're running, this would be one of the most powerful options to make it happen, even before you know what you have to work with and what direction you should be drafting in.

Also, it has the same problem people pointed out with my card where, as written, you would need to individually track the option selected for each copy in some way.

EDIT: It's also worth mentioning that, while colorless itself, this card is pretty big color pie break. By using only generic mana, it allows you to fit its effects into colors that normally wouldn't get them. Which is pretty significant when it's already strong for those options in the colors that normally get them. It's even worse if the set includes any kind of mana ramp or cost reduction, in which case a player could potentially take something their color normally can't do at all, and do it better than the color that does normally do it. The best way I can personally see to handle that is if, rather than terms like "Knowldege, Power, and Health" you had players pick "Blue, Green, or White" and the player had to pay an amount of mana in the chosen color as an additional cost to cast it.

Vunik - If you're open to suggestions, I think the odds of someone managing to draft several of these at Rare are low enough that something like this wouldn't be unbalanced;

Insectoid Investigator 
Creature - Human Insect Rogue 
Draft ~ face up.
As you draft a card, you may remove it from the draft face up. (It isn’t in your card pool.)
~'s power is equal to he number of cards you removed from the draft with cards named ~.
~ has first strike as long as it's attacking.
