I like the change on this from "look at three" to "look at two" it makes it a little more balanced and doesn't sculpt your next draw.

Changed to new version for now.

­Catalog says that this card might be a little too strong. I like it but I'm not sure "Draw 3 discard 2" is balanced at {u}{u}...

Sorry that was me. I forgot to sign in.

I think it's more balanced than Divination at {u}{u}.

reminds me a lot of wild guess. its just better.

Is the mana cost right? From what I understand, you pay 2 to cycle this card or U to draw 2 discard 1?

I think it's fine. Storm will love it, but that doesn't matter.

Draw 2 discard 1 seems pretty good for instant speed. Comparable to Ponder or Preordain but instant... not quite as good as Brainstorm, but Brainstorm is way above the power curve these days.

I do like the "easter egg" mode where you can cast this for {u}{u} as a Compulsive Research.

Yeah I guess. What if it was loot, then for each {u} loot?
