Fateful Showdown, Instant, designed by Chris Rallis first released in Sep, 2016 in the set Kaladesh Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck that focuses on drawing and holding a large number of cards in hand, such as a control or combo deck, would benefit most from Fateful Showdown. While this card can provide a burst of damage and card draw, it may be situational and risky due to the requirement of discarding your hand. Other cards like Sphinx's Revelation or Blue Sun's Zenith may offer more consistent and versatile card draw options, making them potentially better choices for most decks. Fateful Showdown could see play in specific strategies that can capitalize on its unique effect, but overall, it may not be a staple in most competitive decks.

There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.

The number of cards in your hand is counted only as Fateful Showdown resolves. Fateful Showdown is on the stack at this time, so it’s not counted.
