For White Commons Submissions. Cost and P/T subject to change. They're just guesses for now.

Changed name.

As a side note, I know that libraries aren't usually targeted. Maybe we could break the rules a little in this set. We've spoken about having enchantments enchanting more things that they don't normally, like cards in the exile zone and players (which Innistrad is making less rare, but still). Perhaps we could have an "enchant library" or two.

I thought I looked this up before but I can't find the comment now. Strangly, there seems to be only one "target library" card (circu lobotomist, who is wordy but not otherwise quirky). I'm not sure why wizards made an exception there, it seems strange, since nothing gives libraries shroud, it doesn't matter except for getting around effects that prevent players being targetted. I don't know if they wanted to make the lobotomist less hoseable, or if it was just missed in a template updating or something.

"Enchant library" would be amusing, and make sense if it has an effect on the library; it's probably a good thing to do if we're sure the interactions with player-shroud don't matter.

Strong card. I really like the interactions here, from keeping a card out of opponent's hand to accelerating my own deck. That, and enchanting libraries sounds like the sort of strangeness the White tribe should be investing in. I would like to see more of that.

You'd probably more often use this on yourself than your opponent, unless you know what their next card was. Wall of Omens was uncommon, and also drew a card; does this "drawing" on death mean it can be common?

There are several common scars creatures that draw a card, so it's definitely possible; I assume it depends how much card drawing wizards want in that color and I don't know for sure (and I think you're right, drawing on death is more common, but I don't know).
