See Challenge # 157.

I wanted to specify "non-creature" and "cast this turn" but it was already too wordy.

I'm not sure where the balance is. This is basically "get a card", but with the possibility that it's quite a good card depending how many you had to choose from. What I like is that you know what it is and opponent doesn't.

This reminds me of Hideaway with a twist. And then, of course, you don't get to cast the card for free.
This is a bit more successful than normal in making card selection feel red. It's also another interesting twist on a possible Spellbeast mechanic.

Oh! And I just realized the name is a cute pun. :)
