Favorite card in the set. Would have been better as 2U but this art.

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.

Them's some beautiful eyes. Pretty good effect, too.

Turn a random Saproling into a better Archivist? Sold!
The nebula exploding eyes are just a bonus.

Combos with Puresight Merrow for as many cards as you have or . Or maybe you want a scary creature and some cards with Umbral Mantle.

I like it because: - high synergy with "when this untaps" and "when this taps" triggering creatures - also high synergy with any creatures that have "untap" as a cost in an ability - events out the risk of card disadvantage caused by it being an aura quite quickly.
I don't like it, because: A decent four mana sorcery draws you three cards. This card also costs three mana and can only be played at sorcery speed. However: - without a creature you can't play it (and when you really need this card, you probably won't have many cards on hand, so you probably won't have a creature card on hand) - if the creature is flickered or bounced or whatever the aura is lost (and of course also when the creature is killed) - that sorcery gives you the cards right now and then, the aura needs three or four turns, depending on whether the creature has summoning sickness or not. And if the creatures lives that long. And you can't attack with it during that time either.

Looking forward to pulling this at pre-release, much improved scry tapping over Witches' Eye. Very good enabler, and same with Retraction Helix.

In addition to being a FANTASTIC (if vulnerable) draw engine itself, the synergy with Inspired is nothing short of obscene.

Auger Spree, Death Grasp, and now this. I'm starting to think that Swanland might just be one of my favorite mtg artists, despite the silly last name (why do all of the best Magic artists have silly last names??)

Inspiration and Heroic enabler all in one. Be sure to play on a creature ready to tap so if they have removal for this you can at least get one card out of it.

I got a foil one of these at the prerelease. Trust me, it looks amazing.
