Help with Wording

edited March 2016 in Custom Card Discussion
I've got a neat concept for a card, I'd just like some assistance with making it sound the way Wizards words their cards. Here it is: Vesuvan Namesmith- 1U, Creature- Human Wizard, tap: Name a card. Change the name of a spell or permanent to the named card until end of turn. 1/3
Is this worded to work the way that I want or is it too confusing? Please help

    If you want to make a serious card, how about
    "Choose a card from outside the game and reveal it. Target spell's or permanent's name becomes the chosen card's name."

    @Tomigon Thanks! I overlooked the un-sets when trying to find examples. I still think that it could use some of the wording of Nevermore and similar cards. I would like it to be able to combo well with Declaration of Naught

    Nevermore, Declaration of Naught.. You are evil.. LOL!

    The first thing came up in my mind is to name a card the person you hate the most and using Dismember on it. I'm true evil. Hahaha. So I thought the card's name should be changed to real card's name. I totally forgot about cards like Pithing Needle.

    How about
    "Target spell's or permanent's name becomes the name of your choice"
