Huh. Nice. Yes, I could get behind this as white's take on Elvish Visionary effects.

It'd be even more suited to blue (the colour most likely to make Long-Term Plans), except that blue already gets cantrip creatures of every flavour anyway.

This is quite intriguing though the white color is indeed very questionable. Also, echo is, well, somewhat awkward (likely has to be read multiple times to be understood, drawback mechanic, etc). In this design, while the use is extremely cute, it makes less sense if you think that now the choice whether one should pay the echo cost is completely lost (excluding some laughable narrow scenarios).

Would you able to word this without the use of echo in a way that it still remains nice and simple? I would be interested to see that.
