I've never really been a huge fan of spellbooks. I was never a fan of Spellcaster monsters and I thought that the whole archetype was overrated and overhyped, as almost EVERYTHING is in this game.
This, however, is taking it way too goddamn far. This is Maxx C for spells, and its archetype specific, meaning that unless you're willing to drop the money on the deck and the card, you don't get to play it.
I'm not going to make a comment on the rarities of the Spellbook shit and how it's fucking impossible to make it unless you're willing to drop almost $600 because they make every fucking card either Ultra or Secret, because thats been made before, but this card does not excuse the price tag.
This is a card that allows Spellbook players to, on average, go PLUS 5. That is RIDICULOUS. It isn't limited to only Spellbook cards, nor is it only something that can be played on your turn. It's either players turn, and gives severe hand avantage. If you're a player that plays heavy spell loadout, like Heroes, and your opponent drops this, you have practically no choice but to let them basically draw a second hand.
It doesn't help that it doesn't let you draw, it lets you SEARCH. Its Maxx C if it let you cherry pick what cards you added to you hand, and not only that, it's a Maxx C whose effect YOU CAN TRIGGER. Could you imagine how stupidly overpowered most decks would be if you could discard Maxx C on yourself? Decks like Wind Ups could draw into their entire deck in one shot.
This card, when it comes out, I could see being another 3-0 like Cyber Stein. Even if you limit it to 1, that's all that they need is just the 1, because the shit is searchable. They'll get it off once, draw into 9 cards, dump 2 Priestess on the field, and then laugh at you.
Spellbooks used to be balanced, but this and Spellbook of Master have pushed it too far. Quite literally, Spellbooks OP, needs nerf.
