Forbbiden Soul Searcher; Support for a disliked card?

You can reveal 2 "Forbidden One" Monster Cards in your hand; Special Summon this card (from your hand). If this card is used for a Synchro Summon: During your next Standby Phase, you can add 1 "Forbidden One" card from your Graveyard to your hand and, if you do, draw 1 card. You cannot add other card(s) from your Deck to your hand during the turn you activate this effect.

Well, I hate Exodia draw. Boring to play and to be played against. I much prefer Exodia search, but direct searching was a no-no with Emissary being enough. So, this is a recovery card with added offense, which...of course, needed some limitations to prevent it from completely breaking Exodia. As you can see...it is LIGHT and Synchros with Emissary for 8s.

 

P.S: I noticed a small error in the card text, I fixed it in the quote by stricking it. I'll try to fix that error in the card as well.

That is really interesting. You could reveal 2 pieces, then throw down one of those two and go for a Synchro, getting that piece back and drawing a card. The fact it shuts your further strategies down, however, impairs it a tad too much. Perhaps if it preventing searching, similar to Rai-Oh, it would be better as a whole.

I took your suggestion into consideration and made it a Rai-Oh esque restriction (Meh, I copied the text straight from Rai-Oh). I'm a bit nervous of how to restrict a direct support to Exodia when Exodia is compatible with so many cards; it doesn't need more searching help, especially when this one can retrieve the head...and potentially + from it!
