How does one cost this thing?

to mana cost, idk
I did some mockup testing, -
to mana cost (back to the original)
deactivated
Personally, I'd limit the reordering to once per turn (or give it a decently hefty mana cost that's greater than
) because of issues with play time. It's a little less annoying than Sensei's Divining Top because the top cards are revealed no matter what, but you'll run into play space issues and play time issues tied to players constantly reorganizing the top card of their library as more information is available to them.
As for costs, it seems about right. But since this seems fairly impossible to do in Cockatrice at a reasonable time frame, it's not something I'd want to really see played or played against me. It's a cool design, though.
I've kind opened the possibility for
in enchantments, but it really isn't what I'm going for with that 'twist' in this set, so that is probably a false choice. Upkeep trigger maybe?
The cost I find a bit disconcerting in that it's a pretty nice follow up to a Counterbalance, but I'm not sure whether that's something I specifically should even care about.
That aside, there's certainly issues of playtime with the design, among others, so I don't see myself reactivating this card in the foreseeable future.
