<No Name>:$2

While this is in play, you may draw a card. If you do, trash this.

<The idea was to create a Duration that lasted as long as you wanted, and a good one-time megaturn enabler>

Thoughts?

I think it needs to say explicitly that it stays out until you choose to trash it. I would interpret the "durations stay out as long as they do something" rule to only apply to active stuff that happens as a result of playing the card.

Compare the wording with that on lighthouse, which also has a "While this in play, X". Lighthouse gets discarded after the "now and at the start of the next turn" stuff is done, even though the protection component is continuing to do something. By that reasoning, its not clear that this card should stay out for more than one turn (except for that the card design wouldn't make any sense if that were the case!)

So it is a one-shot Caravan without the +Card? Sounds weak. It needs some other benefit.

This is too weak.  I'd be in favor of upping it to even:

<No Name>:$2
Action/Duration
+1 Card
+1 Action
While this is in play, you may draw a card. If you do, trash this, and +$1.

Even like this, there are few times where I would actually buy this card.
