I figured forcing to discard first would be more useful. I'm unsure whether or not this should remain a hybrid though.

Discard-then-draw is fine for red, and for blue. Discard is okay for black, and draw is okay for black, so I guess discard-then-draw should be good for black as well; I've just not seen it happen.

A terminology note: cards that say "Creature - Blah" are "creature spells" only on the stack. They're "nontoken creatures" on the battlefield, and "creature cards" everywhere else. So the first condition should read "As an additional cost to cast ~, reveal your hand and discard all creature cards from it." Except that's actually a really harsh condition... how about "discard a creature card, or reveal your hand if it has no creature cards in it"?
