Hole filling, I find myself making funky spells. Good. That helps assuage my fears that the set was a bit too formulistic.

That said, I don't know what the right cost for this card is. And I'm not sure this shouldn't just say 'permanent' (and increase the cost, of course.) or maybe 'permanents you control'. Meh. Some of these problems can only be determined by testing, I guess.

Um, wow. It sure needs to cost more than one. This goes through your deck so quickly with, say Blasting Station. Or; oh, huh - it doesn't remove the mana cost of casting the stuff... No wait. Not true.

So it's actually "draw a card when my stuff dies, discard it at end of turn".

Effect on gameplay; wel,l I guess opponents will often say "Ok, so.. I don't block, and you just wasted a card", but you're red; spending cards to cause an opponent to take damage is just fine.

Ok, I like it. And as you have to pay the casting cost of the stuff you half-draw, it DOES need to be cheap if it's to see any use at all.

I admit, there's some scenarios where this can go bonkers. Pyroclasm, for example, is in this set. And the card does get a little crazy with saproling tokens and a sac outlet.

But those perfect scenarios either require you to Reprocess your own stuff, or expect your opponent to play a lot of cards for you to nuke, and that's far from a guarantee. Still, I'm keeping my eye on this one. Comparisons to Glimpse of Nature seems fair.

A one-turn, one-sided Fecundity. Indeed comparable to Glimpse of Nature. Looks exciting.

Could just say "Whenever a creature dies this turn" for shortness and simplicity.
