I am planning to use Nimbus Maze in a Set I am working on as part of a cycle (zendikar with colourless mana). Can I re-use the rest of your names for cycle? (I am unsure how to private message.)
I'm quite surprised to see that someone's playtesting these cards in 2015. I would be very interested to get in contact with you Volvary and hear what your thoughts are, since I'm actually starting up an Archester Revival project hoping to recreate this set with a much higher standard of quality.
After some play test, we have found that this card is overpowered as a 1 cost steam powered. Having this equipped basically mean you can kill any creature for
and Tap. We have found that putting the cost at 
was more balanced
Yeah I guess. What if it was loot, then for each
loot?
Draw 2 discard 1 seems pretty good for instant speed. Comparable to Ponder or Preordain but instant... not quite as good as Brainstorm, but Brainstorm is way above the power curve these days.
I do like the "easter egg" mode where you can cast this for
as a Compulsive Research.
I think it's fine. Storm will love it, but that doesn't matter.
Is the mana cost right? From what I understand, you pay 2 to cycle this card or U to draw 2 discard 1?
Yes.
Is the land ability still activated?
As it stands right now,it is a better version of Arrest at the cost of color density which is a big drawback in this set. I like it.
