And that completes the cycle.

Nice implementation. Sadly it runs afoul of the "Yes, sir, this land was the card I drew this turn, sir, not the awesome spell in my hand" problem, but wording it to avoid that would be much more fiddly.

Added a little bit to it, but yeah, midly plausible to cheat with it.

Though it also lets you draw to replace, trash that... it's kind of a dangerous seek.

Edit: Sacrifice ~ if you do that annoying flicky thing, or shuffle your hand, or otherwsie try to slip cards from your sleeve...

How about Sphinx of Jwar Isle that also lets you exile the top card of your library at any time? Free Demonic Consultations!

That wording would do the same thing, yes. Actually, let's see if we can't get the other half of the card in whilst I'm at it.

Edit: I'm mortally certain that last effect is WAY too good in mtg, though. Edit2: It was 'draw until you have 5 cards' which is just wayyy too good in mtg, made it draw one, which is still darn nice.

Even without the last ability it's stupidly good. As SM said, Demonic Consultation is played in Legacy; this does the same every turn...

Maybe make it "Reveal the top card of your library, Exile it if it is an instant or sorcery"?
