Increasing Vengeance thinks it's okay to have a slightly-better Reverberate at the same cost if it forces you to choose your own spell.
These cards are already difficult to use. :P
Nice. Should possibly cost

, though.
I actually thought about this as a Divination that always gets another Divination. Which is good in the long run but probably awful if you were searching for answers.
But I guess I did ignore some other repeatable draw effects when costing this. If anything, this was a bomb in Limited at CMC 3.
Changing from
to 

.
I'm confident that Wizards wouldn't print this at less than 4 mana, put it that way. Compare also with Treasure Trove and Whispers of the Muse.
It's pretty dang good. I could certainly see upcosting it by one. But the tome is colourless, so maybe being cheaper makes more sense? How about a double-blue in the cost as a halfway house?
Those two don't bother me, since the tome is outdated, and Azure Mage could just, you know, attack. The card that really argues with this, though, is Oona's Grace. Instant speed is, admittedly an advantage. And I suppose that Oona's Grace was close to uncounterable, while this is very vulnerable to counterspells. Still, much better. Maybe that's okay?
Seems a lot better than Jayemdae Tome, Azure Mage, and other repeatable card draw.
Fun indeed.
Fun with Traumatize.
I thought this was already printed, but search came up with nothing.
Nice card.
I agree that one mana is completely absurd. You just need to bring up Cruel Edict.
Personally, I think the CC should be at 3. 1 just seems absurd... It's automatically much, much better than Innocent Blood.
That said, while I know that it's unfair to compare this card to Murder, people will compare it to Murder. That's just how humans think. I could see you going a lot of ways when costing this card (including bringing it up to

, just 'cause). Expect negative out-lashing whatever you cost this at, though. It's unfortunately unavoidable when cards have 'drawbacks'.
At
it's strictly better than Cruel Edict, close to Chainer's Edict. At 
instant it's a bit like Tribute to Hunger I guess.
But I wouldn't want to make it instant. It seems strange that you can be forced to make all these decisions in the middle of combat, for example.
Also, I think the card is powerful but I may be overestimating it. I've had this idea for a long time but I never playtested it once.
It's swingy but good. I think a
sorcery or 
instant are around where it should be.
seems pretty bad. you can get away with just
.
