The art is reminiscent of Nature's Spiral.

@Cheza:
Are you stupid? This is a rarity for a reason! Green already has the best fatties and ramp because that's WHAT IT DOES! If you give it draw and take away Ramp/search, it's a better Blue -- already one of the best colors!

Wow. I never thought I would find such a good conversation. I wish all of you would have some influence on R&D and it would be definitely a better game.
@ HuntedWumpusMustDie:
This isn't designed to be a top-tier draw spell, but a situational version that can stand next to Divination, Survival Cache and Mind Rot/Death's Duet/Sign in Blood. Divination is a simple "draw 2 cards", but Hunter's Insight might even give you more cards. Garruk's Companion is a good example. On turn 3, you can attack and if it isn't blocked, you can even get 3 cards. Not that bad of a deal. But I agree with you that there could be a 
version sometime, but to be able to splash a second color isn't that bad either. This gives you more options to combine this with exalted, flying, shadow or simple more effects that push power on an attack.

Hello Niv-Mizzet
Yes, yes, Curiosity/Ophidian Eye is cheaper and on color, but this is a third option. Also, it's non-optional, so I hope you have more cards in your library than your opponent(s) have life...

HuntedWumpusMustDie: Err, have you played against green before? With a god draw they can easily get 7-8 mana by T3, and even with a bad draw they should still be at least 1-3 mana ahead. Cast a terra stomper or Khalni Hydra whatever on T3, attack T4, cast this, and even with a blocker out you would still draw a few cards.
Or hey, cast whatever on T2, get mana leaked, summoning trap, and on T3 you can swing with whatever fatty you want, whilst having the mana for this and maybe even the 5-9 cards you just drew.
Obviously, you can also splash and combine it with some double strike, and if you're casual and late game even with a world at war effect. Congratulations. Terastodon can now draw up to 36 cards.

Why doesn't it say draw cards equal to the combat damage dealt by that creature? Which is what I think it means to say.. Rather than draw 1 card or 2 with double strike?!

Yeah, that's powerful! Green can easily pull this off - nice!

Funniest play: Use it on your own creature in response to Traitorous Blood or Act of Treason or some such. Sure it'll still hurt, but free cards!

I gave this a 5/5. As a three-mana drawing spell in green, this is EXACTLY what you want. This has become even better since Strangleroot Geist was dropped into the 2-drop spot. If the Geist connects (or any creature with power 2 or more), then you've got yourself a Divination in green that has the potential to be BETTER.
And if you're not attacking in green, what's wrong with you?
