Nice name :)

The effect is very interesting. It's something like a colourless Rampant Growth, which is pretty strong - except it's not very likely to fix your colours. Or it's like an unpredictable one of Marble Diamond, Sky Diamond etc :)

After looking at your comparisons, the effect probably needs to cost {3}, since 2cmc ramp is no longer available to colors other than green. Of course, there's always the chance that this will fizzle, so I feel like {2} should be okay.

Plus, if the sift fails; at least you KNOW you were gonna be completely boned - but now you're not because you sifted past it.
