V: This doesn't give the opponent the choice - that's the Fact or Fiction illusion. This always gives you the best card from the top 3, and if the opponent guessed wrong it also gives you another one of them as well.
But I guess Tomorrow was fairly expensive for what it did. Being a bit cheaper than a Kamigawa-block card isn't really a crime :)
Good suggestions, I like the idea of making it a creature, a 1/4 perhaps? And I don't think the blinking shenanigans really warrant making it all happen during the draw step.
Yeah I figure it's situational enough that it can be a little pushed. (I had been carrying around a Trade Routes ever since Mercadian Masques, and I hated it, but then I put it in a Damia deck and now love it.)
Yeah it should almost certainly cost more. The closest comparison with those new Conspiracy cards would be Drakestown Forgotten, and that only cares about creature cards. It does have the added utility though of that activated ability.
The familiar always gives you the choice, and works with other forms of card draw. This gives the opponent the choice, and doesn't.
So it might be reasonable costs. (Also, you know, costing low enough it might actually see play.) But I do think it'd be better on a creature body.
I'm conflicted on this working across multiple phases, too. On the one hand, that's a potentially scary ability if you can find a way to not have it in play for your draw step. On the other, two card combo to draw the worst 2 cards of the top 3? Maybe fair.
Whoa, that's a late game bomb, especially in multiplayer. But I guess the cycle of Drakestown Forgotten, Ignition Team etc shows that Wizards are okay with printing those.
Whoa. Nice. A bit too good to be printed in Standard (4 power for 3, in any colour, with 2 more coming when it dies? That's close to Thragtusk level.) But possibly printable in a supplementary Commander product.
Whee! That's pretty strong... but only in certain situations. Nifty. (Would go awesomely in Damia, Sage of Stone EDH. She always has a problem with her hand getting clogged with land. Manabond is my secret Damia tech.)

I actually like it with haste. Multiplayer always needs more incentive for combat.
Fractured Loyalty was always one of my favorite cards. I may take away the haste, to make actually attacking with the enchanted creature rare.
Indeed it is, almost ended up with a second Walking Atlas!
And yeah, it's also meant to be pushed. That being said, the value might be too strong, may up the CMC to 4.
Yeah, I was thinking a lower rarity Gilded Lotus, or a Dreamstone Hedron without the added utility.

I'd rather have a Sol Ring; but sure, some decks want to jump from 5 mana to 8.
This seems like a solid reasonable card.
Yow! Seems undercosted compared to Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar.
Custody Battle? Or perhaps it's more like Captivating Glance.

I assume it's meant to be an Artifact Creature?
A fixed Gilded Lotus? (Or a fixed Thran Dynamo?)
