Madness brainstorm
Edit: is this real?
Edit: is this real?
The madness reminder templating isn't consistent with SOI fiery temper... I'm not convinced. This is templated like the old madness. They already have out a new official reminder text, or at least as official as a wiki will be:
Madness (cost) (If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard.)

Why though? Madness is cool and all, but making brainstorm good for one deck and really mediocre for others seems like a step down (See the evaluation of Oath of Jace as to why 3cc brainstorm is not a good draw spell)

It would probably be unprintable at 1B (see Vampire Interloper) but not unbalancing outside Innistrad limited.

Draw three cards, untap up to two lands, then discard a card.
Grillo, are you on the design team?
I just realised why it untaps only two lands. It's so you can crack a clue. That's pretty flavourful. If not a little too obscure for people to notice.
Could be a mockup?

A mockup would explain the weird font (WotC often sends out previews in pdf with slightly off font and/or proportions iirc), but not the reminder text and the odd card numbering. The booster leaks have confirmed Expose Evil as 19/297 and Furtive Homonculus as 64/297. If Delusional Ravings is 29/297 there's at most 28 white cards and at least 36 blue cards. I mean, we had Torment, but I think it's extremely, extremely unlikely that Delusional Ravings is real.

first ability: put a charge counter on ~, then you may cast an instant or sorcery with converted mana cost equal to the number charge counters on ~ from your hand without paying its mana cost
Second ability (removing any number of counters is an additional cost) : Scry X
Spell aether vial with additional utility? This is preeeeetty sweet!
A very cool card! Probably the biggest synergy with this with Split cards:
And using the ruling from oracle of bones, I'm betting you can cast both halves of a fuse card! This is because you are casting it from your hand. Rebound works too.

Probably the ONLY synergy while we are at it?
I can't see this being playable in cube, since it takes so long time to do anything...

Yeah, AEther Vial has always been a no-go but being able to tap out and still hold up counterspells has got to be better than flash dudes
Not the only synergy, but definitely the best. You can cast a buyback spell and pay it's additional cost to get it back in your hand, I believe. (using oracle of bone again). You can use it on draw spells, saving mana to play the things you've just drawn. Again, not the only, but def the best.Probably the ONLY synergy while we are at it?

I don't really see it being fast enough for cube either. Honestly, it won't be that great in EDH either, unless the deck it's in has a sweet curve and lots of spells.
You have to get it into play t2, pay 1 mana and probably do nothing and next turn you MIGHT have a counterspell to play from it...
I'm not thrilled.
EDIT: why didn't i just see the sarcasm right away... oh dear...

Eesh, putting on the counter is mandatory?
If the last ability was more like ", remove X charge counters: scry X", I'd be more open-minded. As-is... what a let-down.
