Huh. Frobble your hand, you get a mermaid, you lose the mermaid, then everyone frobbles their hand.
And... a really broken mockup. Ok, force a double sacrifice, and costs 8, but reduced by number of tapped creatures you have. So very very strong as an after-combat thing in a rush deck.
Also, it's a "Sorcery Sorcery" which is terrifically pleasing. I'm keeping that. "It's a sorcery" "What kind?" "A sorcery!"
Although thinking about it "Instant Instant" is even better; since it's an adjective. I guess we've got split-second on it now.
I kinda want to make a wheel of fortune from this. Maybe I shouldn't.
But I'm totally going to. The real problem with wof was prolonging your turn forever abusing it by playing down to no cards then casting it over and over. Making it much more expensive stops looping as much; and I can then bring in the distress clause to make it more reasonable if you're using it for the more-intended use of "My hand is crap. Find me a better one." It is also decent mill then; but mill can be decent now.
I think this looks fairly solid. Definitely not anywhere near common; rare or mythic? Eh; if I had an appropriate legend name to hang it on, I could justify mythic. But rare feels enough.
