So, I'm back after a couple of months, and I feel like posting an idea I had.
Larnalia Eidolon | Creature — Spirit Play with Larnalia Eidolon revealed at all times. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Larnalia Eidolon is on top of your library, you may pay . If you do, prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to creatures you control this turn. 2 / 2
Lightbrize Oracle | Creature — Human Cleric Play with Lightbrize Oracle revealed at all times. At the beginning of your upkeep, if Lightbrize Oracle is in your hand, you gain 1 life. 3 / 3
Ill Omen | Instant Play with Ill Omen revealed at all times. Counter target spell.
For the record, the last one is ill omen, not 3 omen.
Anyway, let me know what you think and why is it such a bad idea.
Oh, and by revealed at all times I mean that you play with it face up in your library and revealed in your hand.
at all times means that even when it is in your library, not only on top. So how does it get revealed then (and keep it revealed)? Besides this, I like it, especially the counter spell.

I was editing the OP explaining that.

The problem I see with that is shuffling and cheating... Maybe it would only work online now that I think about it.
@Sleeping: Yeah. Well, it should be the same in theory, but my experience... meh, you don't even need experience to guess that. >.<
Perfect originality is overrated and often ugly. The best and most beautiful cards I've ever seen were clearly inspired by something else.
Cards are not entirely unlike living organisms in this regard. All the good ones are a result of long evolution; the 'original' ones are either monocellular or mutant aberrations.
Graveborn are strictly better than Zombies. I mean, look at that wicked beard . You try growing that when your dead. And I know aging fellows who are suffering from Male Pattern Baldness, who would kill for a Mop like Ribsy's over there.
How would they cheat? By making sure the card they can see came up on top? I think Wizards set a precedence with the Miracle mechanic expecting the players to govern themselves.

Face up in your library isn't really revealed if your opponent is not aware there is such a card in there. I guess you would have to warn your opponent about it before the game starts.

Yeah, that too. But I think they would probably notice anyway.
The first card could simply be revealed + activated when you draw it one step later.. Why not simply reveal the cards when they enter your hand? Please show us a card where being revealed somewhere down in your library is relevant, because making such a card is pretty difficult..
Oooh - I know. You could remove it from your deck when you shuffle - then roll a 60 sided die, or if your deck is EDH 100 sided, or if you're running Battle of Wits , a 2X0 sided die. Or if your deck is some other number a die with that number of sides.
And every time you draw a card you adjust your die, down one. Then when the die is at 1, you put it on the top of your library, revealed of course. And whenever you shuffle, you just re-roll the die.
Sounds like a blast and a half. I'd run the shit outta this card.
