A monoblue unrestricted nonlegendary scion of the ur-dragon feels wrong. Some numbers should change so it's not such a direct riff. It's possible that the ability shouldn't be monoblue at all and should be UB maybe the first ability as black and the second one as blue?
Interesting. Indeed capping an opponent is considered black, but capping yourself has been repeatedly blue in
Mana Severance and
Selective Memory; but actually this ability is neither - it's creature tutoring and probably more of a green thing for how it is used in the end.
How about a version that was powered down by embracing the uncertainty of the library? I could see myself changing the first ability to: "
{U}: Exile the top card of your library."
What I actually would prefer is: "
{U}: Each player exiles the top card of their library." But I also don't want this to be just an effective path to milling opponents, so... "
{U}: Each player exiles the top card of their library. Put each noncreature card exiled this way on the bottom of its owner's library."?
I feel that some kind of change along those lines is necessary since this is indeed really close to a legendary. It's interesting how different the two top-down designs were that arrived at such similar mechanical executions.
