Well of Lost Dreams is a nice card, but it does not provide any way for a player to gain life and trigger its ability, so I have decided to create a creature that synergizes with itself, following the example of when I previously made a creature version of Searing Meditation, and here is the result of my work:

I felt that making this creature a colorless artifact creature would have made it too powerful, so I made it a colored creature: white for it to have lifelink and blue for it to provide card drawing. I contemplated increasing the mana cost to 5 mana, but I felt that having it require two colors of mana was sufficient for it to have the same mana cost.

What does everyone else say about this card? Do you like it?

I like it. Feel like maybe lowering its stats to a 2/3 or even 1/4 would make it better since its ability doesn't just trigger off itself.

RiotRunner789, its ability is supposed to trigger from itself, but the player must pay mana to draw cards, so I feel that that keeps it balanced.

Lifelink is fairly well supported and was even a sub theme last core set.

If it was at three power, then the next turn you would attack and pay 3 to draw three. You probably wouldn't even care if they had a 4/4 or a creature with deathtouch.

A 1/4 would be harder to kill and would replace itself next turn, hopefully more with any way to gain life.

On the flip side, they could just murder it on spot before it draws you anything (it not having haste making it not broken).

RiotRunner789, that makes sense, so here is my new version of it:

I feel that 1 power is simply too little for a creature that costs 4 mana, so I gave it 2 power.
