Probably too strong. Silvergill Adept is an amazingly good card. This gives options, and is easier to cast in any deck that isn't dedicated merfolk. Make it cost 4 and it'd be fine. Also, this isn't really hybrid. Drawing a card, straight up, is only tertiary White; it could happne, but there'd need to be a good justicification. Better off as WU.
Not bad. Maybe WU is better than (W/U)(W/U) though.
Spot-on. The 'gain 4 life' trigger is not blue, so casting this card for UU make this a color pie violation. To be honest, there needs to be a strong need to validate breaking the color pie, and there's other suitable options here so the need isn't really strong enough.
2-Drop :symwu::symwu:
Creature
When ~ ETB, choose one: draw a card; or tap target creature.
2/2
... just for example. There's sufficient overlap here to make a hybrid without breaking the color pie. If you want it the textbox to stick, it needs to require both colors, but its absolutely fine if its a gold card instead of hybrid.
Drawing a card isn't really a white ability either.
Hybrid means a card has to fit in both colours. There might be a little bit of room for bleeding fringe abilities (maaybe blue discard, for example) but with something like blue lifegain, it's a clear nope. This needs to be WU, at which point it's a pretty fair card.

The 'draw a card' option is still probably overpowered at 2 mana. Looking at a card and having the option to cycle it to the bottom of your deck would be fair though.

elvish visionary is a very powerful card indeed. Turning him into a bear would be insane, especially in a more restrictive cost split between the color that draws cards and the color that gets the second most efficient creatures.
I guess OP wants it to be 'keyworded' like "dies" was. What word would you replace ETB with though?
When Aegis Angel is born?
When Huntmaster of the Fells arrives?
When Kitchen Sphinx lands?
When Faerie Imposter busts in?
When Dread Cacodemon pops in?
When Malfegor shows up?

Oh wait.
Considering Elvish Visionary has seen Standard play on multiple occasions, a straight up draw effect is pretty potent on a 2 drop. If this card has a relevant tribal type (like Merfolk) it would be insane. You might squeak it by as a really pushed Uncommon, but if you want to also give the option of life gain, you'd need to either tone down the draw or up the casting cost. The card would see be plenty powerful; I hear card's that replace themselves have a higher chance of seeing play than others.
People play noncreature draw spells of this fashion from time to time. Spreading Seas was playable.

When card etbs choose one - draw a card or gain 4 life
