Not sure about the power level on this one. Inherent card disadvantage is pretty bad so the power level has to be worth it, but some decks will just donate a random 1/1 token so the power level can't be too crazy either.
I like it a lot, it has a good feel, and is simple to understand even if not to work out all the implications. And there's a lot of potential fun around planning a deck around what you're going to give away. But I agree, it's hard to make balanced and also interesting. You could also consider making it more consistent by allowing land, or only allowing creatures, or don't make it a permanent at all, say "you may have target opponent draw a card".
Adding an extra lifegain bonus. Two +1/+1 counters and +2 life isn't necessarily worth
, but for a common I think it's fine. I don't want to up the counters because going into the 5/7 range might put it into the "too good" territory.
