Branching Research

More ideas on doing stuff with the bottom of your library. Am I figuring out something interesting to do in red/blue?

So is this a real choice for your opponent? How much does the value of the choice change in second or third games when you have a better sense of what's in your opponent's deck?

I'm not sure (or happy) about the rules templating for the second choice in terms of using "cast." You can exile a land card with this spell, and with the way it works there's no way to prohibit it because the opponent cannot see it until the choice is made. But you technically don't cast lands. But the spell you might end up playing with this spell is intended to be counterable, so I'm not sure how else to word it.

Edit: Here's version 2.0 with more appropriate wording.

So it's got that non-land wording that is used when we're letting folks cast spells for free. But you can still choose a land and bluff with it. If your opponent take the first option, you get to dump a land and get two more cards.
