Path of the Enigma
This is a sorcery built for the multiplayer planar subgame, where the draw is the anchor bolted to a communal event. The design works because its two halves resolve on different terms. The card advantage is single-target and guaranteed: you name a player (usually yourself) and four cards hit their hand regardless of how the table feels about it. That resolution is not up for negotiation, which is where it improves on the older tradition of table-wide "everyone draws" spells that hand out more advantage than they net. The voting rider sits on top. Once the cards are drawn, the group votes to planeswalk to a new plane or send things sideways into chaos, and the vote is deliberately lopsided: a tie resolves to chaos, so opponents never have to build a majority to keep the destination out of your hands. The result is a coordination puzzle stacked on a fixed payoff. You keep the part that matters (the four cards) and cede the part that is theater (which plane or phenomenon the group lands on). Ignore the planar frame and the sorcery reads like an expensive draw-four; read as intended, it is a piece of table machinery where the guaranteed advantage buys you a seat at a negotiation you have already partly rigged in your favor.
