Yeah I saw that too. If the page counters can be used for anything else, it'd be amazing. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it'd be that much better than a Mind's Eye or something like that. It's a shame that for example Conjurer's Closet won't be able to blink it. Might give it a try though.

A hobby is by defenition something you're not any good at - otherwise it'd have been your work. Magic is my biggest hobby so I mustn't be very good at it.

Mind's Eye is 5 mana, though. This is cheap. And you can run something like Clock of Omens to mess with it, which you might consider anyways.

Late reply, but I wanted to note that I'm still in doubt about Fires of Invention. The limitation of only playing things during my turn is hardly an issue since my only instant is Chaos Warp. Furthermore, I hardly ever play a lot of spells during my turn, and while stabilizing rely on activated abilities and blink effects that are already on the battlefield for the most part anyway. On the other hand, there aren't many activated abilities requiring a high activation cost anyway, so keeping the mana open - which should be the goal of it all - isn't always an advantage either.
It's just... I don't know. Anyone try it yet?

I like the breach too, but I'm not sure it's a fit in my Norin list. I'll never be happy with it early game, so it has a chance to be a dead card. The scenario I like it best in is when I would want to wheel a second time or something like that. The other spoilers so far are a bit underwhelming indeed.

Wild thought. What about Dreamshaper Shaman? It's hella expensive in mana cost but sacrificing tokens and the eventual Norin to it seems to have potential..
EDIT: After a good night's sleep I think it's safe to say that this idea would be funny, but not the best fit for a 6 CMC slot. Might give it a try someday, but not expecting too much of it.

Yeah that was about my conclusion when I first looked at it.
Dreamshaper Shaman - I'm going to do something different and redesign this card to the point that I would consider running it while having it still be reasonable:
Dreamshaper Shaman1RR
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Minotaur Shaman 2R, T: Sacrifice a nonland permanent. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland permanent. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
2/2
Oread of Mountain's Blaze - One of the cards of this sort that is okay. Still would be way more reasonable if it didn't cost 5 mana and 2 cards before it was useful.
Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded - Oh god why did they make a Purphoros-themed card that is SO mana-intensive and not even stellar for its effect? Use Sneak Attack if you really want this effect.
Underworld Breach - Norin as a deck runs into some issues at times with recurring cards. I want to test Underworld Breach out and see how it turns out for me.
Nyx Lotus - The first noncreature card with Lotus in its name that is objectively worth less than eating the cardboard on which it is printed for nourishment.
Labyrinth of Skophos - Not worth the mana cost for my build, but a decent card in and of itself.

I lost my extra copy of Rings, though, so that's currently floating between decks.
Mind's Eye is 5 mana, though. This is cheap. And you can run something like Clock of Omens to mess with it, which you might consider anyways.
The question is whether or not there are enough disciples to justify running something like Unwinding Clock. My hunch is not yet

I'm not enthused.
It's solid, but I like Tome of Legends better, and I'm not sure that the deck would necessarily run both.
