Weirdly, drawing The Master of Lake-town late sounds the most appealing. I'd much rather draw it when both players' graveyards are full, allowing me to trade it off and draw two cards. The symmetrical Mindcrank ability is good for enabling this, but putting this out and having it die for no value sounds pretty weak to me.

A strange but generally decent rare. I haven't seen anyone deck out with The Master of Lake-town yet, although I've had a couple of close calls. If you can play it early, your goal is usually to get both players to 7+ cards, then trade it off for a Divination. lets the Master trade at your leisure, although Pinecone Strike can sadly spoil the fun.
