In general I like hand control, but it has to be useful enough to actually get played to make the strategy worthwhile.

Surely it couldn't win in tournament play, certainly not in the upper levels. Whatever could posses you with such an idea?
Hero (I don't know which one yet, but probably Genesis)Special Ability: Each time your opponent plays an enhancement, your opponent discards an Evil Card from hand.Evil Character, Grey(I again don't know what character, but probably a Roman)Special Ability: Each time your opponent plays and enhancement, discard a random card from your opponent's hand.
Seven Years of Plenty and Seven Years of Famine should both be changed. Otherwise, you give more set aside drawing power to speed decks and that is just too powerful to make your opponent discard all but one card from his hand. There are little to no counters to stop it, as it is a set aside enhancement.Actually, I think you could make it a dual sided card. You could make it start off as Seven Years of Plenty to set aside any 2 characters for a few turns, to allow each player to draw 1 card each turn while set aside, and then the card becomes Seven Years of Famine to keep the characters set aside to make each player discard one card each turn while set aside. Obviously, 7 turns each way is way too long. I'd propose 2-3 turns for each side of the card. That'd be a fun card to play.Kirk
Or maybe to keep with the theme of "seven" because of the card title, the first two turns the characters are set-aside, each player draws two cards, then the third turn each player draws three cards. Then when it's flipped over, the first two turns each player discards two cards and the third turn they discard three cards? Just a thought.

It still equates a forced draw of seven and forced Discard of seven, has a balancing mechanism in that only Genesis and Egyptians can use it, prevents Gifts abuse to draw an additional seven cards, lets you play it on any eligible character, and cuts down on text.
