"but that doesn't make it better; it just makes one more useful to decks that would run it"
How else can you determine which card is better other than the usefulness of them in application? Cards don't exist in a vacuum.

Decent for Green, although Sylvan Library is still far better in my mind.
The Library has to be one of the best draw spells out there. The only drawback is that it's almost impossible to get them to stack.
The thing with Harmonize is that Green has so many ways to get it's staple (creatures) without bothering with drawing. It gets a lot better when you have splashed another color for spells.

@raptorjesus69 "Still, Harmonize is quite a bit better than its blue counterpart Concentrate."
They look pretty identical to me. Harmonize may be better on the grounds that Green doesn't have much that gives you straight-up draw whereas Blue has draw coming out of its ears, but that doesn't make it better; it just makes one more useful to decks that would run it. Same way that Psionic Blast isn't any better than Char, but since the former is in a color that has almost no damage spells, it's much more useful than the latter, which has to compete with Lightning Bolt, Flame Slash, Banefire, and others.
I'm not trying to be hostile; unless I'm really missing something here (4 CMC, 2 of it colored, sorcery, draw 3), I'd say they're identical. Of course a green deck will be much more likely to run this than a blue deck to run Concentrate due to the plethora of other options, but again, I wouldn't say that makes either one better.
scumbling1's point is valid, but I'd still say it's not a better card, as per the above points. Greater playability, but I'd say that's different than being a superior card. Although I think we're probably getting at the same point but defining our terms differently.

isn't pretty much the only card drawing green has?

@rinoh20: well, there's also Fecundity, Biomantic Mastery, Wirewood Savage, Regal Force, Overbeing of Myth, probably some others. Still, Harmonize is quite a bit better than its blue counterpart Concentrate.
