two cards -> three
The cost and hoops are strong enough that you could easily replace "instead" with "in addition".
Correct wording for a replacement effect is "if you would draw a card" rather than "whenever you would draw a card".
"whenever" -> "if"
What does concern me a bit is that this with "in addition" would effectively allow for up to nine extra cards (thou likely over multiple turns) with some selection. Maybe it's fine but seems a bit much?
I might actually recert back to two cards per kicker cost. May be too much of a nerf, not sure
replacement effect -> whenever effect (in addition to drawing)
