Chart a Course

Card Draw Cost

How much does drawing two cards cost? Between Winged Words and Chart a Course, I feel like it's about 2.5 mana.

It costs 2U as a sorcery and 3U as an instant. There’s a little room for a small rider, I believe.

Red's Rummaging Rules

Card draw and counterspells, which were in a bit of power slump, have been increasing in power lately, with stand out examples like Chart a Course or Disallow. But Red's rummaging has sticked with its Tormenting Voice mechanics - which makes it less appealing than card draw and more vulnerable to counterspells. Has there been any flirtations to bring rummaging to Faithless Looting levels? Or at least make it less counterspell-vulnerable?

Red discards before drawing. That’s what separates it from blue looting. We can theoretically get more aggressive with the power level, but we’re not going to change the basics of how rummaging works.

Why does Chart a Course not have raid?

My best guess is the template that raid would have required would have made the card a lot harder to process.
