Yet Another Aether Vortex Most of the weird mechanics in this set started as cards for normal Magic that got rejected
Putting the creature on top of your library isnt much of a downside since you can just play this at the end of the turn before yours or even in your upkeep to draw the card straight away

it's on a handful of cards, and the more mana you put in, the bigger effect you get, just like in Final Fantasy." So far the 'Tiered' mechanic has appeared on two cards in the M:TG - FF set - the Fire Magic card and the Ice Magic card
Black has several similar effects, such as Village Rites, which only draws two cards but costs a single black mana
