this is the best find card i have and with its buy back it is a 3 cmc card for unlimted srying! i can not only know the next card i will draw i can do so 1-2-3 times every turn till i have my combo! >:) it is in my BU/GR "elf token / alarm" DECK
This combos well with Spellweaver Volute, since you once you start the constant casting with buyback of this spell, you'll be playing at least one sorcery per turn.

you missed the part of scrying where you may put the cards on bottom of your library, getting those useless cards out of the way for more useful ones.

I'm impressed by the 1-2-3 elegance of this card. I want to play it just for that, in fact.

This card is adorable. One of my favorite pieces of art in the game. Would've been incredible had it been an instant, but I guess I can see why they held back. Reasonably useful by itself, and there are a lot of synergies to discover.

Really shines in formats like EDH.

I believe it should have been an instant, but even as a sorcery it's a real goldmine for control decks, ensuring smooth draws in lategame. Really shines in control vs control.
Even without the buyback clause, Scry 3 for is not a bad deal at all. scry 3, then scry 3 again for isn't bad either. I actually use 1 of this in my Vintage deck for this precise reason.

This would have been absolutely incredible if it were at instant speed. As is, still fantastic at what it does. Buyback has always been a good mechanic, especially useful in formats where you need to make every card count....like EDH.
Island, sol ring, and this in EDH is just nasty. Sets up every draw and if you have hug effects you can make sure you get cards you need while your opponents don't have that control.

A repeatable Scry for 3 mana? That's really good, actually. Sorcery speed sucks, but I can see why they did it. It'd be too powerful otherwise.

My guess is that those are Mystic Remora he's stabbing.

Great TSP Block tech here. Great in my tooth and nail deck, it digs like crazy thanks to the buyback and the abundance of mana in the deck.

Spellweaver Helix and this card are a match made in heaven.
