What if the new mana depleted the library instead of life?

Hmm interested so like if the cost was 1X where X is the new mana symbol. You can pay it with either {B} or by milling 1?

milling one would be way too overpowered. You would have to mill three in order for it to be balanced

60/3=20

Maybe you exile the cards? Anyway, the library is another resource people could use to gain card advantage. And I haven't really ever seen it done. Gorzo had said this idea might be OP. but that doesn't mean the library can't be exchanged in other ways. What color do you think would exchange the library for card advantage most?

Blue would get the card advantage but Golgari would be good if the cards just go in the graveyard. Because Scavenge would benefit and  {Scavenging Ooze} would have an all you can eat buffet lol

which is why I think exiling would be better. And it could fit into any color that way

An dredge takes things from the grave yard not plays them

But you could always just make your library slightly bigger. Actually no, this idea just seems too good. Mill instead of pay? Even exiling to make cards cost less? That sounds EXTREMELY dangerous to me.
