Cool! With a card design as simple as this, I would want a name that is more evocative of why two cards are being drawn. But that's less on design and more on creative - and being a little nitpicky.
You're right, Olaf! I didn't give any suggestions to go along with my critique!
You know, if Second Thoughts wasn't already a card, I would suggest that. I'm trying to think of names that have to do with the number two. Think Twice already exists. Double Take is already a card.
Checking It Twice? ...Too convoluted. On the Double? Double Down? Two Shakes ...Too undescriptive. Wait a second... Wait a Second! But I feel like that's more of a "it happens once then again" like a Flashback card or a Rebound card. Or a Suspend 1 card. Maybe something related to an echo?
And remember that humans have a lot of things that come in pairs. ...Whoa, a pair! Hmm...
A Pair Ently? ...That's not helpful at all.
O.K., I'm done brainstorming. Hopefully, this has become leverage for you to further brainstorm for the right name.
If I were to pick one of the ones I suggested, I would pick "Double Down." Though the phrase means something entirely different, the "double" refers to your cards and the "down" refers to you putting down the spell.
I went with an homage to Inspiration originally, but I think there's a better option. Double Down is (I believe) an Unglued card. How about Null Drift, as an homage to Mulldrifter?
Inspiration did come to my mind with the Inspiring Denial, so your intended homage did work!
Double Down isn't a card! =) Perhaps you were thinking of Double Dip: http://magiccards.info/ug/en/3.html
Null Drift seems too much of a stretch. Actually, the "mull" part is what draws you cards while the "drift" refers to the fish body itself flying and/or evoking.
Perhaps Inspiring Denial would do. It just seems odd to get inspiration from a denial. Inspirational Denial? Ah, well. =)

DeleteOne more, with no homage: Clever Retort.

Actually, Clever Retort is pretty nice!
