As in I could used it 5-10 per turn?

That was always the understanding of myself and many other combo-hunters.

yeah. this caused some conflict at the last tournament, but it's not like it's an artifact. at any time is a really bad wording IMO. it works, but it shouldn't.

Discarding like that is such a steep penalty, I think that's why they left it

The wording is perfect.  It does exactly what it says.  You can use it as many times as you want, whenever you want.  :)

Exactly... it's awesome but must be thought about and strategized around to be as effective as it can be.

it's not something I would like seeing in the future. I agree that the wording is correct for how it's played, I just don't like how it's played. same as Regardless... I think cards should only be able to be used once per phase.

It isn't perfect because it suggests you can play it even when a card is activating.

But that would be violating a game rule, so it's not a problem.
I'm in awe. This is the nuttiest card since Haman's Plot!
