Two side ntoes: 1. I'm excited by this set. I'm not sure what you're doing right - but keep doing it, you're doing something that makes me enjoy it and want to comment. 2. You might make use of the yellow button to tag some of your comments that you'd like answer to; that makes them appear on the site's front page to draw attention to them.

On to this specific card: A four mana artifact that taps to add a small elemental (is zephyr a creature type nowadays?) and draw a card. Probably wants to cost a bit to activate - pure "Draw a card" does, and this is better than that (though coloured and legendary) In addition - in the right deck; this is TERRIFYINGLY better than that. I can see once this hits the table every turn being "Draw a card, make an elemental, draw a card, cast a spell, draw a card..."

Which "I can wish" factor makes me think this could go mythic (and then the cost stops being an issue, stupid wizards)

This compares very favourably to Urza's Blueprints... except that this needs double blue to cast. This is like an Archivist with a Bitterblossom stapled to it, or a Honden of Seeing Winds with a Honden of Life's Web there too.

I think there should be an activation cost. At {2}, {t} it's still rather better than Scepter of Insight, even before you consider playing other Elementals.

I really like the card though. That kind of triggered ability is the kind of thing I love.

Added a cost to produce Elementals.

Thank you alot Vitenka, i'm glad you like it. I was thinking of making some playtesting IRL with his. But maybe i could even be able to try it on some playtable with people here?
