Should this be an artifact creature? :3

­:-P
This effect seems quite powerful, especially since it doesn't restrict what card type you can choose.

@Alex: Oh! You're entirely right! Forgot that.

@L2i0n0k7: Well, 4 mana is about when you don't get the nonland restriction anymore (Disciple of Phenax, Nightmare Void, Gruesome Discovery, Bala Ged Thief, Splitting Headache), and this one is a tri-colored rare...

Two of those cards have the player showing you an amount that may be less than his or her entire hand, and one has a restriction that means you only get to choose the card sometimes. They are also all limited to a single player, and none of them provide a 4/4 flying body and a scaling number of cards. I would consider putting this in every one of my Esper EDH decks.

This may ultimately need to cost {1} or {2} more (development! XD), but otherwise I still think it's a legit effect.

Oh, I love the effect. Don't mistake me. I just think that, as you said, development would have it cost more.
