Any interest in finality counters for the first ability?
These two abilities don't seem particularly connected. The Treasure is useful to cast spells from an opposing graveyard, but the Phyrexian Arena somewhat pushes you towards using our own stuff.
I feel the card is partially at odds with itself.
changed first part to finality counter over wording "Spells cast this way gain "If this card would exit the battlefield, exile it instead."
I guess finality counter is the go-to way for that ability now, so sure. I slightly modified the reminder text since this allows you to cast noncreature spells, but the core idea is the same.
This is a mythic, going into one way felt pigeonholing, especially since against a low-permanent deck the first ability can be a complete dud. For seven mana, I think it'd be too bad to only focus on playing from opp's graveyards, so I had the second ability be arena + Gold.
