I was all ready to make a Kobayashi Maru joke in the comments, but uh, I guess I'll see myself out.

Why is this an article? There's no 'new way to lose' as this is a somewhat common effect on cards, and there is even another card that does almost the exact same thing as this one, but I don't think Demonic Pact got an article about it when it was released

But Hasbro wants the press so they can make more money off your fandom🥺

This card doesn't really seem playable either. You put yourself on a 4 turn clock for a delayed card draw effect, so the only way this is going to hit the table is if you're about to lose anyway or you have a way to destroy it before it kills you.

Nah, I actually run a deck filled with cards that make you lose the game. There are many other cards that can give other players cards, for example, so you keep that one for three turns to take the beneficial effects and then give it to someone else before the last effect hits.
