New Mechanic for my set

[FuDaWg45]

I was thinking about doing a mechanic called "Excavate."

Excavate X (Search your library for ~ and put it into your hand. Play this ability as a sorcery and only when ~ is in your library.)

So I guess an example would be:


Scree Lantern :1mana::r:
Instant
Scree Lantern deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
Excavate :2mana::r: (Search your library for Scree Lantern and put it into your hand. Play this ability as a sorcery and only when Scree Lantern is in your library.)

Is it worded right? Is it too powerful? Obviously, it would have to cost a bit, and the spell that has it would have to cost a little more than usual too.

Oh wow, would this be a rules nightmare. Why not have it...

Excavate X (Search your library for a copy of ~ and put it into your hand. Play this ability as a sorcery and only when Scree Lantern is in your graveyard.)

It's not as good, but it's more flavorful with the keyword, and it's less clunky.

I like that. Thanks!
