Well let's see here. It costs UUU..so it would probably only get played in mono blue decks (or splashing).

2 mana for 2 cards is quite good. In fact  I can't think of a current card that lets you draw 2 for 2 mana. (besides older cards that won't see reprint {ancestral recall})

The fact that you could draw 4:4 and 6:6 etc is amazing.

It's still subject to removal yes?

Drawing cards helps in card advantage but doesn't neccessarily win you games. 

I think it's nearly broken...but not quite there yet. I think If it had a {T} ability limiting you to 2 cards for tapping and 2 mana would be more appropriate.

Give it shroud...then it's broken no question about it.

{Sign in Blood} is the only. 2 for 2 in the current meta.

It's an enchantment? I don't understand. You could just have insane card advantage once it hits the table? Broke as anything....

Unless im reading it incorrectly.

{Altar's Reap} is 2 cards for 1&{B} + sac a creature. Not a bad deal with tokens or Dry Bones {Reassembling Skeleton}.

Yeah, but you can't use it over and over again. And again. And again. And many times a turn. And many turns

If it was legendary and said activate this ability only twice a turn it would be better and more unbroken/op

If it had a tap to activate, would be ok. I mean tap AND pay the mana...
