Seems to me as one of the better cards of C19 for cube (which is not very positive for the set in general )
Problem obviously is that the outcome is very random and ACS is hard to evaluate.
In BCS it is completely busted (Trall, Walk... in your graveyard) and WCS it can do nothing.
However I have hope because it triggers en ETB and every of your upkeeps.
It seems like it could be playable in some sort of big red deck. Against a deck with counterspells you probably board it out, but if you hit removal/card draw every time then it's really good.
The floor is just unacceptable for most cubes. Needing the opponent to have an instant or sorcery in the grave isn't the worst hurdle, but add to that your opponent getting to choose what you get and it's a nonstarter. Here....cast my counterspell. The body is pretty rough too. FTK can get away with the 2 toughness since he often kills the would be blocker, but this guy will get killed by 1 drops frequently.
The floor of doing nothing if your opponent has a counterspell or a situational useless spell (wrath for example) is only 50% if you have anything in your grave.
Note too that the card is exiled so it cant be choosed again next upkeep if opp is randomly choosed again.
Card is probably too random but to me power level is definitively here.
It is very different and random compared to FTK but it has a significant chance of being better and sometimed busted. The fact that it triggers at every of your upkeeps as well is a significant upside to me.
Definitively deserves testing imho, aside from the counterspell issue i am worried that in the early game there might not be a target in either graveyard however.

Deal with it.
