Fascinating. So the opponent can choose 0, and take no damage but not draw; 1, and have this be Underworld Dreams; or more, and get powerful scry but taking damage. Interesting effect.
This is a card I'm very proud of. Barring the complexity of dig (and the fact that it should say "in a random order" so that your opponent just doesn't say 60 and stacks his or her deck in case of a Platinum Angel), this one never changed.
It's not that powerful, and it can never kill an opponent, but it plays a lot into the opponent's mind. As the flavor suggests, who would resist scrying for any number of cards they want? Finally, I also like that this naturally offers a serious drawback for those "coward" enough to choose 0.
