I have been thinking about some of the Judgment cards lately. The one that looks most promising to me is:
Browbeat
2R
Sorcery
Unless a player has ~this~ deal 5 damage to him or her, target player draws three cards.

Judgement Uncommon
This card has some major advantages and disadvantages that I was looking at.
Advantages: Both effects are powerful. The prospect of drawing 3 cards in any deck is good. Immune to misdirection because about the only deck playing misdirection is control and in that match up you have life to spare.
Disadvantages: Your opponent gets to choose. Browbeat is not a come from behind card (It doesn't work if you are losing). It has to be played in an aggro deck or else the 5 damage will not be as strong of an effect.
I was wondering if anyone has done any testing on this card as of yet and what they found out.
I will be doing some testing in my G/R Type 1 Hate Deck (Freddie posted it a while ago). I will post the deck with a critique of Browbeat later.
Thanks,

I might test it in a U/R deck. However, is it strictly used to damage an opponent, and U lose flexibility of damaging creatures against aggro.
That can't say target player - other wise the card would read 2R, draw three cards - and it would be too good.

I think the card drawing is target player, but any player may take five damage to prevent the target player from drawing three cards...

Huh?

Browbeat reads as:
"Unless a player has Browbeat deal 5 damage to him or her, target player draws three cards" check out the full spoiler with pic's here:

it's pretty cool.
I think I'll also test it in sligh. U know, 5 damage is nice for R2, and if ur opponent lets u draw 3, these 3 can be deadly too.
I currently use Reckless charge in my sligh, bur Browbeat deserves a try.
3cc in Sligh means a Mana Drain assisted Morphling against you with island back up.
Dandan, it means you have to enjoy burning his face.

In my opinion, it being a sorcery over an instant is what will ultimatly prevent it from being a quality card.
Being able to do something like that EOT would be real cute.
I've tried the 1R blow up a non-basic land or do 6 acrd (forget the name). It seems far more in line with what Sligh should be doing. Even so it is a borderline card (somedays I like it but when I'm looking to shoehorn a card into the deck it gets pulled out).
Browbeat costs more, deals less damage (which lets face it, is what these cards will usually do) and doesn't disrupt your opponent. Compare it to any good burn spell or Wheel of Fortune and you'll see it isn't strong. It is however a lot betting than Scullscorch.
I'm thinking that Cursed Scroll's actually a better idea to get online and keep online than Browbeat is. Sure, Keg for one really eats you that way, but you don't get a dumb Drain into Morphling/Twist/whatever that way.
I have tested it a little, and it seems average. I tested it in sligh and U/R counter burn deck.
