My biggest fear with this card is that it can dig up a Lotus Bloom from your deck onto the battlefield for
. 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
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.
X->3, cost XR->2R
