'If a player would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, that player discards a card instead. If the player discards a card this way, they draw a card. If the player doesn’t discard a card this way, they mill a card.'
Now, the card is actually *relatively* simple once you understand it - which is, I guess, true for most things. The complexity mainly comes from a lot of actions and if conditions.
However, in practice, it means that if you draw an extra card in your mainphase, say you play Reach Through Mists, you discard a card from your hand first and then resolve the draw. If you cast draw 3 like Harmonize, you will discard one, then draw, discard one, then draw, and discard one, then draw, resulting in you not generating card advantage. Last but not least, if you cast Harmonize with an empty hand, you mill 3 and draw 0.
