Using advanced Crystal Joy to discard wounds can be quite useful, I imagine. As long as blue mana is available, you can turn one wound into a crystal of your choice each turn.
I didn't read the card closely enough and I didn't notice this feature. It doesn't seem terribly useful to me, though. If you are thinking of discarding a Wound after battle to clear out hand space (the most useful time to do it), then you have to fight the battle without either playing the card or using your blue mana. Often this simply won't be practical. Otherwise, you have to happen to draw the card together with a Wound. And then you're still not healing it, unless you visit a glade later in the round you're still going to be stuck with the Wound for next round.
If the advanced power let you throw away a Wound to gain a crystal of your choice, then it would be good.
