Draw card, which element and how much?

So I know the effect. It would be a spell: Reveal the top five cards of your deck, your opponent separates them into two piles. Draw one of the piles and discard the rest. Which element and how much should it cost?

The mechanics of the game simply doesn't allow this.

You can't build the code for it?

I don't think Zanzarino can, it will basically take 2 turns just for one of those cards.

[Blaze]

Alright. Back to the drawing board! Although you could have the card say and draw them at the beginning of the next turn.

It's a decent idea, but Zanz has said he doesn't like this sort of thing.  He wants to keep elements a fast game, and this is a slow card because it requires a bunch of choices to be made by players.  Zanz has also said he wants to set his own path apart from other card games, and this idea is a word for word rip from Magic's Fact or Fiction.

Yeah I've always loved Magic, and that card. Alright then

Yeah , this doesn't really work with how the game is.

What if instead of your opponent, it shows you ten cards, then you can pick 5 to replicate. The others are discarded, and everything gets shuffled back into your deck. As for the actual question, aether would probably be this best (think mindgate).
