A balanced Lotus variant?

[DerangedHermit]

Torn Lotus (0, Artifact)
Imprint - T: Remove a non-land, non-artifact card from your hand the game. You may not imprint more than three cards on Torn Lotus in this way.
Sacrifice Torn Lotus, T: For each card imprinted on Torn Lotus, add one mana of that card's color to your mana pool.

At the very least, you need three turns and three cards to turn this into something resembling Lotus, and one card to turn this into a Petal (and it replaces that card). What do you guys think?

Original Wording:

Sacrifice Torn Lotus: For each card imprinted on Torn Lotus, add one mana of that card's color to your mana pool. Draw a card.

Is this really worth making? It just looks terrible. Chrome Mox like the same card, only so much better.

I changed it so it no longer taps for its sacrifice ability. I also made the mana producing into a cantrip as well.

In it's current form it's Urza's Bauble on roids; it allows for a 56 card deck. Besides that, it's Lotus Petal that digs a little without any actual CA, if used as intended.
