Hmm. I like the idea. I don't know how practical it would be. I suppose that if players were able to scan their libraries to see where the face up card ended up, then that would work out fine. You just have to not look as you shuffle your library. That would be a bit hard to enforce in a tournament... but, in theory, is doable.
Might be unworkable, but hey, I'd have said the same about DFCs a year ago. Definitely interesting space to speculate about in a futureshifting kind of way.
The idea comes from Letter Bomb and a Yu-Gi-Oh card, though I can't remember that card's name.
Other than the obvious problem of making sure it's actually shuffled right, I feel like the card needs to say somewhere what to do with it when it's drawn. Maybe it should just say "exile it." Hopefully the rules could just clarify that a card you don't own returns to its owner's library and the end of the game.
A card sleeve with the bomb in the center and a Magic card token with a bomb int the center of it's back would also solve the problem... though, that would require a lot more planning...
