How strange.

Sorry. :(
This is probably {g}{u}, not {r}{u}. Not sure what I was thinking, there.

Mmm, still pretty strange. It's nice though.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's quite right as it is or not, but it's a very nice idea.

I'm worried the current version is a bit fiddly, with several different steps that all end up being somewhere between "draw a card" and "draw three cards". That's a good range to be in because both ends are useful and neither end is broken. But I don't really want to remove anything from it, maybe it's ok as is.

Similar ideas would be a green spell that draws cards equal to the power of a creature you reveal from your hand, or a green spell that draws cards equal to the number of lands you reveal from your hand, or a UR card that cares about instants and sorceries? I'm not sure those are better for Aer, but I think some of those should exist.
