I keep vascilating back and forth between {3}{b} and {2}{b}. On one hand, this is Ambition's Cost with a bonus card somewhere down the line. On the other hand, this card is a reverse Delirium Skeins, with a bonus ability that probably won't be activated for a little while. While it feels like you're up a card on your opponent, you don't even have that, really, since you spent a card, and they did not. I don't know. I'd like to see a deck play this.

"A reverse Delirium Skeins" - So, Vision Skeins, then.

I thought this effect reminded me of something, so I went searching. Turns out there's a forgettable Kamigawa legend that does this on a regular basis: Seizan, Perverter of Truth.

Hey, Seizan! Man, I haven't seen him in a little while. Also, yes, Reverse-reverse Vision Skeins. Blue is better at card draw than black, however, so comparing it to a blue card draw spells is probably inappropriate.

Switched to {2}{b}. It just didn't look like a rare at with a cc of 4.
