LOL, you don't shuffle your lib? That's messed up, all these years I've been playing it "wrong." Thanks, Visions!

Ponder outclasses this.

Absolutely win of flavor text. I love the whole idea of time travel, and with this quote, I can see why it is securely in the bailiwick of Blue mages.

This card is great! I loved Chaining them together Back in the day and they combo quite nicely with Brainstorm.

Yeah...I'm going to want to shuffle it up HARD! I consistantly draw 3 to 4 heat cards with this- and I want em' back.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. That is a rather significant change to the mechanics! I just cast this the other day, and shuffled, because the card told me to. Why did they change it?

I once shuffled my library in a legacy tournament. I learned of the errata soon afterwords. :s

I can't believe I ever knew about this card - insanely, insanely good. One of the best bits being that it's a 2 mana instant, making it a fantabulous card for the Isochron Scepter. Oh, you know, end of turn I'll look at more cards than Sensei's Divining top, shoo away the ones that aren't the best, and actually take the best one into my hand for use next turn. Oh, you're casting something I need to counter? I'll see if I have one in my top 4 cards.
One of the best card drawing cards at 2 mana, no question.

Dig, and dig deep. Wanna grab that card you just Long-Term Plans'd for? Don't like the top 3 cards you're looking at with Sensei's Divining Top? It actually complements cards that sift the top of your deck, and is just darned good on it's own.

Basically the reason why I love blue. This is up there with the best cantrips of all time. Sure, it's two mana, but it's an instant! I love increasing my options with four cards!
When I started playing magic, a friend gave me a deck with 4 of these, with 4 brainstorms and 4 force of wills. Such a sweet deck, filled to the brim with options.
It's definitely a control card, not as much a card for combo like ponder. Because two mana is not one mana.
Also, please reprint this wizards! I love your many tributes, but I'd wish we'd get the reprint!

You've got to love comments, eh?
I was checking out the spoilers for From the Vault: 20, where Wizards, in honour of the 20 years of taking our monies, is printing 20 cards which played important roles in each years Standard tournaments. Included is Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Hymn to Tourach, and Dark Ritual.
Now, I'm mentioning Impulse because before any card was revealed, there was spoiler art for one of the cards to be included (http://www.magicspoiler.com/from-the-vault-twenty-spoiler/). In the comments, everyone's saying, "Clearly is Mother of Runes" or "Must be Mystical Tutor" or "BRAINSTORM!" or "Force of Will?"
Well, it's this. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you.
