As an additional cost to play ~this~, reveal a card from your hand, then put it on the bottom of your library.
Draw two cards.

I don't know, Legacy of Lat-Nam and all.  Why did you choose to reveal the card, by the way?

This card is too strong for card selection at one mana. It would be pretty good at {1} {U}, I think.

Currently, the card compares favorably to Careful Study, Sleight of Hand, and is even better than Brainstorm without a shuffle effect.

How about choosing a non-legend creature? Otherwise he is a UG instant Wrath of Frog.

Yeah, the cost should get the extra {1} by those standards. I designed this as a Brainstorm replacement, added the reveal as a drawback.

Remove the reveal, it's clunky and unnecessary. The card is quite elegant after you remove it.

Changed...

I'm quite tempted to put the card on top to allow for shuffle tricks and keep the cost at {U}.
