I am a little bored by it. Courtyard is a better value, and it causes you to have to make a tough call. This card makes the returning decisions easy. +2 cards by itself is very weak, and unless you are buying $5 for $7 or something, the ability to topdeck non-Actions isn't very useful.

It actually seems pretty strong to me, given the right kingdom.  Courtyard smooths out your draws, but this can potentially set up several future turns.  I expect there are some really neat combos that could be pulled off with this.  Decks that can overdraw themselves can use this to put the extra engine components back, ensuring that it will fire again.  Might be able to do something neat with Chancellor too?

I know what this card needs to make it interesting: An on-gain version of its ability! When you gain this card, place any number of cards from your hand on the top of your deck.
