For Challenge # 060

This just obviously suggested mana for me, but it took a while before something appropriate came to mind. Vitenka's sunburst was probably the most sensible answer :)

I like the flavour of this ability. It's great with card draw spells, but doesn't build you up into a big X spell. I wish there was a way to get it onto the table on an earlier turn so you could have the fun of "I play all my 2-cost creatures", "I play all my 3-cost creatures", but if there were, it would almost certainly be broken. Obviously there's some spells/abilities it's broken with (anything with a repeatable {r}->damage effect), but maybe not too much for a five-colour mythic.

I'm sure I've seen the ability somewhere really obvious before but I can't remember where?
