Strictly better than Mox Sapphire

Outside of Commander, this card is pretty much garbage. Even in Commander, this card is pretty much garbage. The only halfway decent things I can think of that don't involve a permanent tapping for insane amounts of mana: Merieke Ri Berit or Arcanis the Omnipotent (as Commanders). If you have three colorless mana left over after you play a spell, drawing three cards is a great way to spend that three mana. Killing the creature you stole previously before taking a new one is also worth three mana. Heck, maybe I'd even use this card with Lady of Scrolls? Probably not, though. 5 mana for one card, 8 mana for two cards, etc, is really a bad deal, especially since you have to cast spells to make it work.

I think this card's ability should be changed from triggered to activated (as printed), because now it can't be countered by things like Voidmage Husher or Squelch.
Nacre Talisman, Onyx Talisman, Hematite Talisman and Malachite Talisman should be changed as well.

There's nothing like lapis lazuli.
