@ DacenOctavio this would have been broken even if it costed as much as 3. If this could come down on turn 3, an aggro player would have to dump the whole hand only to offset the lifegain around 6 life per turn.
5 is, however, too high for this to see any competitive play.

Someone mentioned this in the discussion page for Necropotence... I can see why.

They finally realized no one played Library of Leng without Ivory Tower and just mashed them together.
And made it cost five times as much unfortunately...
Kind of useless in limited, but a must-have in EDH decks that have Jin-Gitaxias in them.

Would rather have a spellbook, but this isn't so bad. In my cloudpost deck these replaced ivory tower and spellbook, but nobody seems to play legacy anymore... :'-(
Not locally any way.

Great in combination with Well of Lost Dreams and any life gain cards really.

five mana isn't too much if you combine this with a lot of card gain. Scroll of origins is perfect, Seer's sundial, Niveous whisps, pursuit of knowledge . . . suddenly you're gaining 5 - 10 life per turn. Add a Feldon's cane to stop from running out of cards and a Kitsune loreweaver to take advantage of the number of cards and you've got a deck that uses this card to it's full advantage.

Dear Diary,
Hi there, Venser here again. I drew a lot of cards again today. I played Fact or Fiction, targeting Garruk of course. He's such a simple guy, always gives me the best choices. I have trouble respecting him sometimes because of that- but we remain good friends.
Oh, and guess what! Elspeth looked at me! Well, she was attacking me with a 6/7 flying rhox war monk while she did it, but it counts! I think she was even smiling a bit.
Jace has been a huge dick all week, though. He's been bouncing every creature I play. And when I don't play creatures he draws cards for free. He won't bounce anyone else's creatures! Why is he picking on me in particular? I think I hate him.
Well, that was today. Oh, and the Plinko disc on The Price is Right got stuck! Twice! Bob Barker told me to write it down here as a historic event, so I am. Whatever. Plinko sucks.

I really like the effect but 5 mc makes it unplayable. Way, way too many better 5 drops for pretty much any deck.
