Beboop has been sitting in the back of my head for a while... since I wasn't sure what a Myr that isn't doing anything useful would be like. Recently, though, I figured out that Beboop would just be wandering around looking at stuff. So I gave him a set of mechanics that encourages the player to act like a Myr... just looking at things. I'd say something about the problems with Sensei's Divining Top... but that card suffered from being good enough to go in every control deck. I don't think we have to worry about that here.

I'm a big fan of the blind rearrange option. If I had this card on the table, and two mana, I'm sure I'd opt to blindly rearrange the top two cards of target player's library, instead of looking at the card.

Why would you do that? It wouldn't accomplish anything unless you knew what at least one of the cards was.
Once you knew what the top card was, you could continually keep your opponent from drawing it simply by spending {2} per turn.

Because it wouldn't accomplish anything unless I knew what the card was. I like being a goofball sometimes.

Another card that can continually stop the opponent from drawing the top card of their library once we knew what it was? Cathartic Adept.
