That's a possibility. For those of us who weren't around last time,
how did hand limits used to be enforced?

I was thinking along similar lines (see my Court Jester proposal)
though I'm not certain it's the most elegant solution for enforcing
hand limits. For starters, cards have no way to provide a static,
ongoing effect - only an exploit that is invoked when it is played.
Therefore your Millstone couldn't prevent transfers or card plays
without a significant re-write of the definition of cards.
