H.P. Lovecraft Color Out of Space Custom Cards

Hello! I have recently created some cards that are based off of H.P. Lovecraft's novel Color Out of Space, and I would like to share one of them with you all as I think it is deserving a custom card creation. I have already created a card on cardsmith.com, but I cannot get it to paste correctly into this post. Here is the card:
Well of Unknown Color
Artifact - Eldritch Well
: Put a doom counter on Well of Unknown Color, then each player loses three life unless they exile a card from their hand or a permanent they control.
If their are five or more doom counters on Well of Unknown Color then put it on the bottom of it's owners library, then exile each nonland permanent each opponent controls and put a permanent card from exile onto the battlefield under your control.
Let me know what you all think of the card!

I really like the color mix for the activation cost; I think it matches the Weirdness inherent in the topic. It is deceptively simple, strangely confusing. Perfect fit. (Note: I haven’t eaten or drank anything yet this morning. It’s possible that EVERYTHING is simple and yet confusing right now. Might delete later.)

Now that I’ve thought about it more I really like those type of mana cost. It completely busts the “this creature is great in either a black or blue devotion deck” (was it Nightveil Specter that was so rad back in the day?) and makes you work harder. I love it.

This seems good, a decent amount of mana for a strong effect... I just worry about Proliferation. Getting this thing up super quickly just means an early exile-wipe, which is hard to come back from. But given this isn't in Green, it's probably fine. Needs a few wording updates but I like the design ;)
