Errataed "Pot of Greed" and "Graceful Charity"

I think you'd have to be more specific about Pot of Greed's drawback. 
Your second turn of restrictions is pretty much covered for sure, but the coverage of the turn it is being used at is what needs clarification in the text.
Your card can specify the restriction's beginning in 3 ways:

"for the next 2 of your turns after activation". Which doesn't restrict the turn you are using it at all and might as well be old Pot of Greed. It only kicks in after that turn ends and then it fully covers your 2 turns after that.

"for the rest of this turn and until the end of your next turn". Which only kicks in after you use this card. This means you can do anything and everything with no restrictions that same turn so long as the last drawing effect is your errata'd Pot. I'd say this one isn't good either.

 "during this turn and until the end of your next turn". This one says you can't have added anything via effects earlier this turn if you want to be able to activate the pot at all, and once it activates it'll keep you on the drawback until your next turn's end phase (so 2 turns including the full turn this is played at). Considering we talk of Pot of Greed here, I'd say this is the best bet.

I think though that Konami has given these harder restrictions than this, which cripple the owner's main or Extra Deck in the process on top of this. Yes your stun is 2 turns long so it is longer but in a fast paced game I'm let wondering how much that second turn makes a difference. Too slow or too fast of a format would make it irrelevant. Meaning it might actually still need some sort of extra restriction.

You certainly got very close to balancing it though..... Yet, at that point it is way too much added stuff to say it'd still really be Pot of Greed and not a retrain like Desires.
