Original Card

I was aiming for a counter that cost to add to the set, and stumbled on this... but it just seemed too good at . I tried making the benefit be an Impulse, but it was too many words. So I shrugged and costed it at . The set doesn't have any two cost counters anyway.

Art's a little weird. I just couldn't find anything that looked like a 'bargain', so I started digging for generic 'spells'. Got this (which is cropped from a larger piece.) The name and flavor don't quite match... but I'm not sure what flavorful name matches the art and the mechanic. Something Pandora-ish? Can't quite seem to get there.

Oh yeah, seems good. Conditional spells are hard to make both modes balanced, but this seems like it will usually be interesting.

Templating: Second "target spell" should be "that spell", unless you want player C to be able to choose whether or not you counter B's spell.

Name: Aetheric Haggling? Essence Negotiation? Yeah, I can't quite find a sensible name either :)

I think standard template would be "Counter target spell unless its controller has you draw two cards."

Editing 'target' to 'that', ty Alex.

You know, Dude, I wrote something about the word order of Dash Hopes and Browbeat as opposed to Mana Leak... but I think I'll go with your wording anyhow. It's just less words that way.
