Psychic Exile
{2}{U}{U}
Creature - Wizard Horror
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may name land or nonland and remove the top card of your library from the game.  If you name correctly, you may draw a card.
1/3
"People hate that which they do not understand." - Velious, Psychic Exile


The fact that it is a creature prevents it from being abused too much.  It also has the drawback of being kind of unweildy unless a deck is properly built around it.

CURRENT WORDING:

Psychic Exile
2UU
Creature - Wizard Horror
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top 4 cards of your library.  Remove 3 of those cards from the game and put the other one on the top of your library.
1/3


CHANGES:
-more specific *shadow walker*
-revamp *GerryMander*
-revamp # 2 *GerryMander*

I think the flavour needs a bit of a revamp. Psychic Exile's a good enough name, but Horrors are black. The only ones that weren't black were the Torment Possessed creatures and Wayward Angel, all of which became black when you had threshold.

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.

You need to explicitly state "if the removed card is the type chosen" rather than leave it implied (obvious though it might be).  Also I think this is somewhat weak, you wont always draw a card like you would off Archivist and the lack of tapping just doesnt make up for it.  If you had the ability trigger on damaging an opponent like ophidian as well, then this is potentially 2 cards per turn but also potentially 0.  I think this would make it a balanced card.

Didn't we make almost this exact card already?

EDIT: Yeah, we did:

Coincidence
{U}{U}
Enchantment
At the beginning of your draw step, name a card other than a basic land.
Reveal the first card you draw during your draw step. If that card is the named card, draw a card.

If we already made a card like this, then this calls for a revamp

I don't like blue stripping cards out of the opponent's hand (too black), and the top of the library part feels very green, but the randomness feels very red. This card is all over the place--let's focus the ability to something that fits.

"Whenever you counter a spell draw a card"? I dont think its been done before and kinda fits flavor i suppose.

ok, another revamp.  This time, it is all blue, but not card drawing or counterspells.

This seems cool, yet pretty fair. I like it a lot.

nice, although you could make it scry and it would be similar effect.  I personally like it the way it is.
