I'd call this just red's "temporary draw" ability using the graveyard rather than exile. Should this be blue? Blurring the lines?

I think it's a fine card. As an artificer maybe it shouldn't be able to cast just anything?

yeah, maybe just artifacts?

I also see what you mean with the red thing, this doesn't seem like a break, but a bend, mostly by allowing it to be cast with any mana, makes it a bit more blue. or maybe i just havent seen red do that yet

This is very powerful. While you can't play lands of it, you are pretty much drawing a card with it each turn. Milling is just a bonus - or in some cases a drawback. I think I would certainly consider playing it over, say Archivist. I feel that even uncommon is probably a dangerous place to have this at.

hm. I see. I suppose Chandra did that at mythic, so you're right this is powerful, also mostly red.

So maybe I'll tinker with it

howboutthis?

That's weird. It sounds like it's something to help you cast artifacts? But actually it's better if you don't have any artifacts fr it to get stuck on?

Oh. i thought free casting was better than card draw. my bad. how about something else?

Maybe : Reveal the top cards of your library unto you reveal an Artifact card with CMC 4 or less, you may put that card into your hand

im so confused as to what we are talking about...

Current wording

> : Reveal the top card of your library, if that card is an Artifact, you may cast it, otherwise, put it into your hand.

This effect is better if you don't find an artifact:

• If you don't find an artifact, you get +1 card advantage for drawing the card, then you can decide whether to play the cardright now, or whether to wait for later. Guaranteed card advantage, options for the timing. Both good things.
• If you find an artifact, you get to choose to cast it right now, or leave it on top of the library. You don't get to put the card in hand and cannot cast it later the same turn unless you somehow get access to it another way (e. g. another spell drawing a cad for you). If you cast it right now, you do get +1 card advantage, but if you don't (because you are unable or unwilling) the artifact remains on your library. No guaranteed card advantage and restricted timing to cast the spell are both disadvantages to the other option.

I assume that's the point Vitenka is making.

I have a proposal: Cost this like an Archivist or something and change the ability to:

> : Reveal the top card of your library, then put it into your hand. If you revealed an artifact card this way, add to your mana pool.

In this version you clearly always get +1 card advantage since the card always ends up in your hand. There is further a distinct benefit only artifacts get, but any artifact gets.

It's still in line with your current proposal since it encourages/supports directly casting the artifact you've just drawn.

Independent note/minor tidbit: You'll notice my wording does not capitalize the word "artifact" because that's types/supertypes are written (while subtypes _are capitalized).

A rule to keep in mind for this: If it belongs to the right of the dash on a type line it gets a capital first letter, to the left small first letter.

Thanks for the explanation! Also that idea is very much more what I was trying to accomplish. And I will do my best to remember that rule, thanks!
