Unless it's part of a combo or plan, I'd pass on using this in... Well, any green deck, really.

This card is in the wrong color...even in other colors I'd pass...

While the ability could be justified in green, the flavor (art, name, and flavor text) fit white more. Last-minite switch in the color perhaps?

works really well with Nebuchadnezzar but hard to play the combo with the color combo's

I believe I've read that they started work on Legends before Alpha was even released. And it was made by a completely different team. They didn't get the memo about the color pie.

I feel this is intended to be used as anti-counter. Revealing your hand helps your opponent almost as much, though.

You guys don't think this would be fun in a multiplayer game?

"They didn't get the memo about the color pie."

Good. Maybe that's why there were actually a few green cards in Legends that were actually interesting and playable.

Avoid Fate - counterspell that saves your cards in play? Oh my, couldn't let Green do that!
Concordant Crossroads - dude, like, only annoying red "haste" creatures are allowed to surprise attack. It would be terrible if green had a fun enchant world that allowed both players to rampage across the battlefield!
Reincarnation - uh, like, hey, only white or black can bring creatures from graveyard to play. Can't let green do that - it's too much fun.
Revelation - like OMG and stuff, only blue is allowed to let you see opponent's hand. An enchant world that did that across the board would be too interesting.
Storm Seeker - like, dude, only red spells can directly damage your opponent. Green can't do that, it would make green not suck so much.
Sylvan Library - dude! Improving your card draw and seeing what's coming down the road? That's a good ability, and only blue can have fun and intersting abilities. Green's only allowed to have ugly trampling things and pointless 1/1 fungus tokens littering the battlefield.

Thank God the designers of Legends weren't operating out of Marky Mark Rosewater's "Color Pie" straightjacket.
