Sigh, my lack of knowledge of Mtg cards is causing problems once more, I didn't know that was a thing, I guess It would need shroud like you said. And I was so proud of this card too, damnit...

Oh no, not the card having some synergy with other cards that makes it more interesting when ran in specific decks!

While you make a good point that this does give it more interesting synergy, I think the *predatory* part of the “Predatory Loan” implies that from a flavor standpoint they want to create a situation of it being damn near impossible to get out of this loan you’ve taken out. Which I think is interesting flavorfully!

That's just not feasible in-game sadly. There are just too many cards and interactions.
