I've been told cycling from hand is risky. This could very easily go infinite. But other stuff exists in this space already, so it's probably fine. Another solid use of memory.
@Vitenka "Cycling from hand" ...what? There's no cycling here. My idea was to make something similar to Accumulated Knowledge... not quite so strong, but 2 cards for 2 mana is better than Inspiration and this is at sorcery speed.
Its rules text could also be written:
Cycling
- Memory - Draw a card. (Pay 
, discard ~, draw a card; if there are five or more cards in exile, draw an additional card.)
(I mean - don't write it that way; it's horrible - just showing the equivalence with cycling.)
Not saying it's a bad thing, as I said, other card draws exist. Just a thing to maybe be careful that it doesn't go horribly horribly infinite on you.
Spells that basically just do "draw a card" are commonly called cycling, even though the keyword isn't features in most sets. Cheap cycling effects can be dangerous, simply because the cost of putting them in a deck can be so cheap. But at 1U sorcery speed, I don't think this could be a problem.
Comparing this to Visions of Beyond makes me think this can cost just
, though of course, Visions of Beyond is a rare.
There are plenty of modern common cantrips (including one
cantrip), so "
, draw a card" is fine (as instant or sorcery). The question is, how often will you achieve 5-threxhileold; if that's quite likely, then costing this at 1U is probably better, if that's quite rare, U is more interesting.
I imagine this would be fine at
sorcery. Or if you want it at 
, it'd probably be okay as an instant.
I think I'll leave it as is for now and when I get the whole set list finished this is going to be one of the cards I look at to see where the mana curve distribution needs to be smoothed out.
