See Challenge # 115. I originally had something like this ability for my blue member of the cycle. But I realised that this was a great opportunity to do something red that has a "blue feel" to it. I think this has ended up feeling both Sphinxlike and red, but the Sphinxishness of it rather interferes with it being any fun to play. :/
I'd like there to be times when you'll want to name something in your deck, and times when you'll want to name something in the opponent's deck. I fear this doesn't really do that: in a monored deck you'll virtually never be able to cast anything from the opponent's deck. But even if you're only naming cards in your deck, that still works, sort of.
Why not allow casting the card without paying for it? It could be abused, but that would take some setting up, and it's not like this has haste.
Mm. It does make this card much more about that, but there's probably no avoiding that. Yeah, good thought.
