This is a bit tooooo narrow I think, even as a very weird build-around card for a world with scry.

That said, I don't know if it's possible to word something so that it could react to both library manipulation and Temporal Spring/Plow Under/Repel effects.

This should fit that bill. Probably enticing enough to get players to grab synergistic cards as well... Like the duals we've been working on.

But how does this interact with Research Coordinator?

Erg.

Add "from play."?

Well, considering this trigger-clause has never been used before, I don't think they've ever had to explore the rules behind putting cards back on top of your library.

However, if MTGO is any indication, you put cards back one at a time. (As with Scroll Rack, etc....)

In other words: Research Coordinator + (((Broadmoor's Adherent))) = Big Game.

Well, that's probably not good.

Back to an "if X happened during a turn, draw a card at end of turn" clause?

Or do I keep this as-is (possible add-ons) and make it Aricus Pinn (mythic legendary)?

That two fragile creatures create a possible engine isn't the most dastardly thing imaginable. I'd rather see this card just pushed to Rare if you were that concerned about possible shenanigans.
