Is Recycle broken?

Originally for this set I wanted to reuse Recover, but that ability requires you to remember way too much and it only triggers when a creature dies, which limits when it can be used and in what types of decks it can be used in.

Maybe instead of returning the card from your graveyard to your hand, it should go on top of your library?

I dunno - it's giving up a card in hand to choose to have a different one. So it's kinda like transmute - priced similarly, it should be ok.

It's going to lead to repetitive gameplay and really rewards having a lot of cards in hand, making it strong in the card drawing colors black and blue which will be better able to access the necessary card types.

Hm. This is a bit like Dredge now, isn't it? You can turn any card in hand into this one. Interesting.

Tapping one creature a turn at a cost of {1}{w}{w}-and-a-card certainly isn't broken. You would need to be careful what other effects you give Recycle though. It's a classic "repetitive gameplay" mechanic, which isn't an instant no-no but it raises warning flags to be careful.
