Just a note: Wit's End was more expensive and more rare than you've currently got here, and this is a lot better.

Yeah, this cost looks plausible now. Mindculling says this has to be pretty expensive. It's a shame because it'll usually only hit for two or so, but I like it, it's a spell which should obviously exist somewhere :)

­Mindculling was also uncommon and very easy to splash. At most I'd cost this at a CMC 10. Any higher and it matters not how strong it is it just won't get played.

Did you really mean 10? That's "Win the game. right now. And bake me a cake" territory.

Anyway, yes, should exist. 7 or 8 seems fine to me.

so {4}{u}{u}{b}{b} would be a good cost?

I guess so? I'd still never bother putting it in a deck, personally, which makes it hard for me to rate.

Still, it's a finisher - get your opponent ready for a lock down and draw whatever your win combo is.

Miiiight be tastier if it was a fixed, large, number; rather than their hand? But then that loses the 'ok, draw your whole deck' shenanigans; so this way round is fine too.
