The only way I could see the effect as a positive thing is that it lowers the chance of drawing the really expensive cards to early (the only cards I could think of are dragons, other expensive cards are usually essential for combos). It's to expensive to actually want it in your starting hand and most of the time youd rather have a Ghost of the past in its stead (because of statefficiency). Maybe if it was a really cheap hitter or had a bonus effect, the current card text would be useful.
Since I cant think of a combo with this card that doesnt work better with other creatures, currently all it does is delay your actual combos (if you have any).
Ok, I just realized that there is one extra use of this card; you can afford to put in more pillars in a rush and then be guaranteed to have at least 6 creatures within your first 15 cards (only 7/8 draws in).
I somewhat doubt thats worth it though.
Edit: Dont change it to bottom half though; that kind of cards only serve as deck slimmers and thus are automatically op, especially when you never draw them in the first place.
