How often is this really better than Merfolk Looter / Thought Courier? And nevermind that this isn't blue - even with the new rules change I'd rather run Sakura-Tribe Elder.
If you're running a Retrace deck, this is kind of helpful. Can also help with Landfall if you need it to. Not good enough though to be playable in most decks.

She's in the Planar Chaos reanimator pre-con, and that's where she shines: reanimator. Not bad for more budgeted Dredge decks.
Doesn't hurt that its awesome art, and teases me relentlessly to a future set in Rabiah.
This card is sub-subpar for card drawing, land search, and landfall. It doesn't even put the card into play, but into your hand. However, like mentioned, it is good for dredge. Even better, however, is using this with card replacement effects such as the Words cards. Green doesn't have that many cards that allow you to draw cards every turn; you could tap this guy every turn to activate replacement effects. With 1 mana and Words of Wilding you're getting a 2/2 bear token every turn.

Going to use her in my Lorescale Coatl based draw deck. With Sensei's Divining Top almost always out, I can stack the deck to make sure she only draws lands.

A future set in Rabiah?
As if. ;_;
The moment Wizards prints anything like Arabian Nights again, they'll be inundated by death threats from a) crazy conservatives who think they're supporting terrorists, b) crazy politically correct organizations who think they're being racist against Arabs, c) terrorists who think they're being made fun of.
Not worth it.

Exactly @ AlphaNumerical this is a color pie corrected functional reprint for Sinbad.
@Dacen Octavio: While I'm not a rules expert, my understanding is that the Seer's ability would have to finish resolving before you could activate Miracle, at which point it would be too late seeing as it would be in your graveyard. Then again, I could be wrong.
The first combo that comes to mind with this is Feral Deceiver, but that's because I like making use of bad cards.

I actually run four of this in my G/B/U dredge deck. Sure there's tons of other ways to go about getting the dredge engine started, and I'd really prefer Sylvan Library for instance.
Still, it's satisfying to play this on Turn 2, then a Bonded Fetch on Turn 3, it always gives me a great start.
