I am surprised that this name hasn't been used before as it is awesomely flavoured for what the card does. Nice Job on making a simple common cool.

Hmm. That could be a problem. Any suggestions for a cool name?

They're still different, although they function similarly. :/

True. A common that taps for card advantage is a rare thing these days though.

Right, I considered that, and thought about upping its rarity to uncommon. I think I already have a common that draws a card when it ETBs and you have fewer cards, although I can't remember. Designing interesting, simple, and clean commons is difficult, imo.
