You've got this card in here twice.
Fixed.
This feels like the kind of ability you'd quite like to have on an avatar; it's something you want in a pinch as a last shot at getting a solution; or if you want to quickly filter to improve your odds at getting your combo. But it feels disappointing to me as a sorcery. All too often, you'll either end up with it stuck in your hand; or you'll use it and not get lucky. And you're gonna get stuck with five on them in a draft. I dunno. It's probably balanced; it just doesn't feel like it'll be exciting often enough.
Better was an instant? A bit comparable to Altar's Reap? (or whatever the two mana black spell's name is that sac a creature to draw two cards.
Yeah, Skulltap was bad, Altar's Reap was fine. But it was only any good because you could use it when creatures were about to die anyway, such as after a chump block. There will be much fewer occasions during a game when an artifact/enchantment/land is about to die anyway.
This is card disadvantage, for 2 mana, in the colour of card draw. It'd be comparable to Skulltap if it didn't make you put back a card, and Skulltap was awful. Make this an instant, and people would still prefer not to play it most of the time. Make this give you 3 cards not 2, and this'd be interesting: like a version of Vivisection or Thirst for Knowledge, but cheaper because it combined the drawbacks of both of them.
Ok, three it is at instant speed.
