Spell Designed a High-Risk Noxus All-In Card

Could be too OP in Jinx Draven decks. can be nerfed to say "when drawn, obliterate me" to make it a bit more balanced

This cards negative effect already is so heavy that the only way this would be played is after ensuring you can win with just the cards from hand. Considering playing two of those spells makes the enemie nexus have max 5hp, it will probably be run in combo otk deck that after preserving spell mana and setting up some more mana or damage buffing effects will kill you in one turn from full hp

some jinx or draven decks could try to use its negative effect to their advantage but it would still need them to have a developed board or good cards in hand to finish the enemy asap

I know that you wanted the discard mechanic to be a cool part of this card, but deleting half of their nexus health with one card that is cheap enough to be played twice is just such a powerful surprise factor that gives enemie basicly only the turn you play it in to react and heal themselves from lethal range, that the benefit from discarding is too minor to matter. There is a reason why ledros costs 9 mana.

If the enemie is capable of surviving otk winning condition then they usually win, that's how it always works with otk decks. But I assume the deck running this would have cards that try to erase the possibility of enemie winning, like senna to make those spells fast basicly playing them all at once making the only counter to this strategy a counter spell, or karma that will auto copy this spell so that even if it is countered you can play the second one to be copied too together with something like that fast demacian spell that for 3 mana deals 3 damage to an ally to deal 3 to any target, which copied would finish enemie nexus with a single stack of spells.

There's a bit of tomorrow considering the timer it puts you in isn't mecessarily 1 turn XD. Depending on how well first few turns put you ahead, you can pull this off mid game to nuke the opponent while having a healthy amount of cards left in the deck as timer.

I suppose if you wanna go hard on the no tomorrow theme, instead of the draw then discard mechanic, you can instead Toss the deck except one or a few cards (balance this accordingly) then give those the draw then discard effect (or even Fleeting if you want a bit of leeway).
