Let's compare it with Earthbound Revival.

 

Suffice to say, this card already eclipses Earthbound Revival completely. It doesn't need the discard, and it can fetch from the Deck, which enables incredible smoothness in playing the Earthbound Immortals.

 

Yes, Earthbound Immortals don't have good presence in the current game, but creating support that utterly eclipses an existing card is questionable, unless said card is objectively viewed as bad. This card is really pushing power level boundaries since you're giving Earthbounds a double tutor.

As a person commonly finding himself experimenting with EI, I can tell you this is a phenomenal card.

As Gadjiltron said, it outshines Revival completely, and that's the only problem. I think you should add a requirement such as "Discard 1 card with "Earthbound" in it's name;" as a cost. I think it becomes a Revival that's a bit more exact with it's cost, but it's more potent, obviously. This also prevents it being teched unfairly into stuff like FK. (Curse you, Armz, ninja'ing me like that. :c) Perhaps make it cost a bit more than that? Either way, it should never be that a card is stronger than another card with a similar use, at least not for archetype specifics.

 

Otherwise, it's a strong card, just a bit poorly designed.

To be fair, guys, it's not a bad thing if This card outshines an existing one. Case in point, the former card in question isn't played at all, so obviously the best idea would be to straight-up upgrade it. Plus... Revival only grabs [i]monsters[/i], where as this can grab [i]cards[/i]. So This could even grab stuff like Whirlwind/etc and make those other random supporter cards more of a thing.

While I understand that few would even blink an eye at how this card is a straight upgrade, the fact that this card is a double-tutor concerns me. It's already rare for a card to tutor more than 1 card at a time without significant cost. This card doesn't have one.
