Not sure what combination of mana, psi and restrictions on targets make this work as a card.

Hmm... I know you're trying to use psi crystals in this set as a resource... but I can't help feel that "Discard a card" or "Discard a creature" or something like that as a cost would make a better card. That way, your opponent isn't sure what you will do, since the card in your hand might be better than the Shock he's playing right now. The way this is right now, there shouldn't be a moment where your opponent would allow the ability to activate, since he or she can clearly see that you have the mana up, and the crystals at your disposal. It can still provide a good "Are you sure that spending those crystals is worth it" moment... so I still think the card is good. I just wonder how many players would be frustrated by the Gleemax effect ("It looks so good! But when it's in play, I never get to use its ability!"

You're right that this card doesn't really work if it's not a surprise, but I don't care about fixing it at the moment, I want to explore alternative ideas for psi crystals and see if it works as a mechanic or not.
