Mystic Balance: is 7 mana CYDSTEPP too good?

Someone suggested to lower Mystic Balance average to 4 mana. I liked that idea. But this does buff BURNDARAZ too heavily.
So what if, instead of a flat 2 mana, Mystic Balance adjusted glyphs by 30% of their cost to an average of 4? This would result in all glyphs being adjusted by 1 mana more or less (if I'm right about the way DD's rounding works) except for WEYTWUT which would be reduced by 2, and CYDSTEPP which would be reduced by 3.
The reason I like this idea a lot is that Mystic Balance is currently heavily biased toward fireball-centric strategies. However, following this suggestion would leave BURNDARAZ, ENDISWALL and WEYTWUT exactly the same as if you used Mystic Balance currently. IMAWAL and APHEELSIK end up reduced by 1. LEMMISI, and BYSSEPS and GETINDARE would be increased by 1 mana instead of 2 and CYDSTEPP would be reduced by 3 instead of 2. These all seem like balanced adjustments to me, except for CYDSTEPP.
