Calamitous Tide

Six mana buys two creatures bounced and a loot stapled on, and the price tag is the whole conversation. The tempo half (returning two creatures to hand) runs cheap in blue on its own; the card-filtering half (draw two, discard one) runs cheap too. Bundling both onto a single sorcery pushes the cost to a bracket where neither effect is doing pace work anymore. This is not a card that swings a race: by the time you can cast it, you are stabilizing or reloading, not tempoing an opponent out. The looting matters more than the raw two-card draw suggests, because the discard lets you dig toward a specific answer while pitching the dead card, so the mode you actually want it in is "unstick two blockers, fix my grip, buy a turn." Casting it only on your own turn caps everything else: a blue player's instinct with a bounce spell is to hold it for an attack step or a targeting response, and this denies all of that. No ambush blocker gets tucked away, no fizzling a removal spell by returning its target, no end-step reset before untap. It reads as a swiss-army value spell, but the six-mana sorcery frame files off every edge that would make bounce sharp, leaving a slow, honest catch-up card for a color that usually prefers its answers cheap and reactive.
