First let's look at the text

Draw 2 cards.

The 2 is where we have to start, since it's in code. So you have to ask yourself "why is the 2 a numeral and not a word?"

clearly the actual shape of it is significant, since it's spoken the same. So when you look at it backward:

.sdrac S ward

here we can use the Algebraic elimination function. Since there are 2 of the letter S, we can remove both

therefore we're left with drac ward

Drac obviously being short for Dracula. Now the word "ward" has several meanings. Now remember when we eliminated those 2 S's, we didn't get rid of them, because the law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be destroyed, only changed. So if we change them from a mathematical context to a vocabulary context,

we can use the first 2 to see that we must use the second form of ward, the verb form. And using the second 2, we see we must look at the second definition.

1. archaic
guard; protect.
"it was his duty to ward the king"

2.
admit (a patient) to a hospital ward.


So clearly, we see that we must admit something or someone. Interestingly, it says we must be patient, which is a virtue, whereas greed is a vice.

Going with that logic, our virtue of patience can cancel out the vice of greed. Therefore leaving us with only two unaccounted for words on the card, "Pot of"

Continuing our current numerology pattern, we see that the number 2 is very important and "Pot of" is two words. Therefore we see we must admit something with the value of two.

In the context of Yu-Gi-Oh, that clearly means we must admit two cards from our deck to our hand.

Now this has been controversial in modern medicine, but in Japan at the time Pot of Greed was printed, the health care system followed the principle of "first come, first serve" so therefore we must choose the first two cards of our deck to be admitted.

Therefore I can empirically conclude, using evidence found both in mathematics, physics, history, moral philosophy, English vocabulary, classic literature, cryptology, and numerology, that Pot of Greed allows you to take two cards from the top of your deck and put them in your hand.

tl;dr IT ALLOWS ME TO DRAW 2 CARDS!!

alright bro last time I spend time coming up with something for you if I don't get the same level of thoughtfulness back
