I think this needs reminder text to clarify that there’s a difference between the second turn of the game and your second turn.
Also might be funny to make it an instant. Would it be broken that way? Maybe. But it’d be funny. Besides, a card with a use case this narrow could probably still be printable that way. Maybe something like “you may cast this spell as though it had Flash if you exile a blue card from your hand in addition to its other costs” would be more appropriate.

Seeing all the comments now, I agree haha. As someone else mentioned, [[Leyline of Anticipation]] makes this an instant which is indeed, super annoying. Does this warrant an extra restriction that it can only be played on your turn?
Nah, I already said it might be fine as an instant already. On turn 2, this is basically just a blue Rampant Growth imo, so having it be slightly more consistent, while kind of annoying, isn’t really going to break it.
Edit: actually, might wanna change the “only once each game” part to something like “you may cast spells named No Me First only once each game,” otherwise it might be interpreted as “you can cast this card once each game” which would technically mean other copies of it can also be cast one time each.
I would call it a blue Explore, more than Rampant Growth.
The fundamental benefits of an extra turn is: 1 untap step, 1 combat step, 1 card, 1 upkeep, potential for 1 land drop.
This will typically untap a single land (same as you paid for it), combat step and upkeep will be useless, the land drop is relevant.
It is slightly better than Explore, since you do get to use the mana you spent on this, or at least be able to hold up UU for counterspell. And it will cycle for U lategame, rather than 1G. But beign slightly better than Explore isn't that bad.
