My biggest fear with this card is that it can dig up a Lotus Bloom from your deck onto the battlefield for {r}. But Cascade does the same thing almost as cheaply, so we may be okay.

My second-biggest fear with this card is that it could be a Traumatize for {r} if your deck has one Ornithopter or Darksteel Citadel. Perhaps "graveyard" should be "exile", or "bottom of library in a random order"?

Traumatize? Just don't run any 0-cost artifacts and you get to mill the entire library at once. I would make a point of adding a bunch more red sources to my favorite deck if it meant I would be able to do that for 1 mana.

OK, guess it needs to be "bottom of library" then. Sadly the "X can't be 0" treatment wouldn't really help.

graveyard -> bottom of library

This will only be used for lotus blooms, I think, in which case it's an awesome Dark Ritual. Or some game two post-sideboarding tech like loading up your deck with a Grafdigger's Cage.

Hmm. Yeah. I guess Cascade showed the problem with CMC-restricted flipping: it wants to be random, but it's not really.

Maybe this card would be better if I changed the Xs to a fixed 3.
