Revelation is cool; it's not absurdly good, but it's decent in decks that would otherwise run 'draw x' spells. Could see it making a splash in UW decks in casual formats, being relevant in limited... maybe in standard.
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?

Sphinx's Revelation compared to Mind Spring with an additional effect is interesting. Though, we would have to see a control deck getting to the late game before this card would really shine.
Thief is the word if you're done with the playground. Good gods, WOTC.
"Stealer" is most certainly a proper English word. Less commonly used than "thief," outside of compounds such as "scene-stealer," but still a legitimate word to use. And it sounds better than "Thief of Secrets" in this context. Alliteration makes everything better.
Except that this is almost strictly better than Blue Sun's Zenith which was played in control decks. This is definitely playable even as a main board card if control gets off the ground... Which it will. Probably as America.

Edit: It's not wrong, but Secret Snatcher would have been better. Anything else.
I like the mythic, although I don't remember how much Blue Sun's Zenith was played. The card draw is the relevant part.

I wish that 2/2 had some sort of evasion on her.
It seems... pretty awesome in Bruna EDH.

I'll give it a try, I guess

Really don't open your mouth unless you know what your talking about. Stealer of Secrets has a better ring.
Synonyms do, in fact, exist.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
