You know what irks me the most?
That MaRo had the audacity to taint the good name of the Rakdos by including a justification for HoFLong in their article.

I think that this is too good.  An instant that can be played only during your End Phase isn't all that much worse than a sorcery.  Even though you won't be able to use this extremely early in the game, it would be a ridiculous method of refueling in the mid to late game.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Necropotence had that "draw during your end step so you can't have tons of cards" thing.  When they fixed Necropotence, they made Necrologia:

Play Necrologia only during your end of turn step.
As an additional cost to play Necrologia, pay any amount of life.
Draw cards equal to the life paid this way.

I think this is pretty powerful compared to that.  Most of the time, this will just be Ancestral Vision with Suspend 1.  Another point of comparison would be Thirst for Knowledge / Compulsive Research.  They both draw 3 cards, and have something like the drawback that I think you want this card to have (discarding).  They each cost 2U, which I think is probably a fair cost for this card (maybe 1UU).

Of course. Ancestral Recall is a very fair card.

Even though you won't be able to use this extremely early in the game, it would be a ridiculous method of refueling in the mid to late game.

I would happily play this turn one in many decks/formats. Even turn one on the draw it's strictly better than Careful Study.

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