Baarak Kodobane draws Olgra, Mankrik’s Wife
Soul Fragment: Cast when drawn
Counterspell: When your opponent casts a spell, counter it
Counterspell does not counter Soul Fragment, Olgra, etc
I know you want to keep wording simple in your game, but these three things CANNOT coexist logically.
Casts When Drawn says nothing about how it replaces itself with a draw. It also works counterintuitively with Skull of Gul’dan (nonsensically based on these other interactions)
Also, “give a minion Divine Shield” should be “Give another minion” along with every other card like it. These nuances are making HS a PITA to learn, and this is coming from a World class card player and L2 mtg Judge switching to hearthstone

Counterspell doesn’t counter cast-when-drawn cards because it’s not your opponent casting the spell, but the spell itself (same when a minion casts a spell).
As for Skull of Gul’dan, do you mean you would rather end up with only one new card in your hand when you draw two cast-when-drawn cards?
Also, battlecries are effects that happen when you play a minion. They happen before the minion is on the board, so “Give another minion” would be redundant because you can’t target that minion since it’s not on the board yet.

Thank you for the Battlecry description- I did not know that.
If Casts-when-drawn replaces itself after a draw, then the card that replaces it should have the -3 cost.
The spell casting itself actually solves a lot of issues for me. I had NO idea it worked like that.
I feel like these issues would be solved if the cards actually described what they did when you hovered them. Thank you for the clarifications, though.

No it shouldn’t because the new card is drawn by the cast-when-drawn card, not the initial spell.
