I'm just going to address the wording; I'll let others handle the substantive comments.

The first ability needs to instruct the player to shuffle.

The ult needs rewording. You need to include the instruction to search or reveal the library.

This card is....weird. First off, you can't search for Permanent cards. You would have to write out each card type. For balance's sake I would not let it exile planeswalkers or lands, so it should be

+2 Search your library for a creature, enchantment, or artifact card and exile it. Then shuffle your library.

Then, the 2nd ability could be rewritten as

-X Put a card exiled by ~ with cmc X or less onto the battlefield.

Then the ultimate is also odd, it has nothing to do with either the first or second ability, so I would want it to do something different. But it would have to be worded as such:

-6 Name an artifact, creature, or enchantment card. Search your library for a card with the chosen name and exile it, then shuffle your library. ~ becomes a copy of that card until end of turn. Sacrifice ~ at the beginning of the next end step.

@JWiley129: You can, in fact, search for permanent cards. A permanent card is any card that is not an instant or sorcery.

Epochalyptik - I stand corrected. I looked it up and found Wargate. Completely forgot about that card. Also, I missed the super popular Oracle wording for all Rebels/Mercenaries (Amrou Scout). Either way, I would still want to restrict what the PW can search for.

I love it, but it sort of feels like the -5 overshadows the rest of the card. Why would you take your time exiling cards and slowly building up an advantage when you can just immediately tutor for Spaghettis and end the game on the spot?

FAMOUSWATERMELON - Ai would need haste in order to do that :)

That's true, but if that's what I needed to win the game, I would just pack a bunch of Swiftfoot Boots and the like, this card as a four-of, and Emrakul/Blightsteel Colossus as a one-of in some kind of Tron build. I don't think that the effect is too powerful by any means, but the other two feel almost useless compared to it. Like part of the card wants to be in a slow attrition build, and the other part wants to be in some fast combo deck.
