Cache of Jewels
3
Artifact -- Treasure
4, T: Reveal any number of cards on top of your library. Randomly choose one Treasure card revealed this way and put it in your hand.

I like the tension in this card - the deeper you dig, the better chance you have of seeing the card you want - but the lower chance of actually getting it.

I doubt it would actually work as badly as you suppose. In fact, I only see two real options -you either get the treasure you want or you thin the deck of another copy of Cache of Jewels. No offense, but I don't see many people building treasure decks.

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.

No way, this feels too good to me.

First it's reusable search (even if it is just for treasure cards) and second it allows a player to see their entire library, essentially allowing them to plan all thier plays for the rest of the game. No where does the card say shuffle.

Too strong my friend.
1: make it like Enlightened - on top of library.
2: add the word shuffle.

Then maybe it's an ok card.

Ocifer brings up a good point--this doesn't say what to do with the revealed cards. And if you reveal your whole library, that could easily lead to abuse.

I think top of library would be too weak, though.

Added the shuffling part, which I really intended to be there all along.

Since you only get limited control over what you get, making it top-of-library would be incredibly weak. Seven mana to maybe cast Enlightened Tutor? That's like "Legends" weak.

With the shuffle clause, you might be able to get away with an activation cost of 3.
