That ability isn't worth keywording since it can't be used with high enough of a frequency at common. Generating card advantage is an automatic red-flag there after all.

This is an interesting card mechanically. However, rhystic abilities aren't that popular since the other player has to essentially 'allow' you to get something out of them and it seems (polling data indicates) that many players don't find that interaction enjoyable.

I really do like this card, but those concerns are very valid and show a good understanding of play design.

Should this be a Legendary?
