Initiate N (When this spell resolves, reveal the top N cards of your library. You may choose a nonland card among those and put it into your hand, Then shuffle your library.)
I left specific feedback on each of those card pages.
I'm drawn most towards Painborn and Reave. I'd certainly be hyped if Wizards launched another '-1/-1 counters matter' block like Lorwyn. (Return to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor?)
Gestate's got some implications for a 'multiples matter' faction theme.
Together those three factions could benefit from some proliferation, provided Painborn and Reave got some synergistic support cards.
Withdraw seems solid enough; could see some guerrilla tactics themes going on for the Elf faction.
Meditate and Whisper seem like they need some love or heavy support from other cards. They're pretty non-interactive as-is.
My interest is piqued. Will follow progress/continue input.
Thanks for the comments! I agree with pretty much all of them. Painborn and Reave are my favourite too. Whisper definitely needs work. I like the idea of influencing what an opponent draws but I'm not quite sure how to implement it yet.
