A great card that can tutor up anything from artifact lands, to Ornithopters, to Sigil of Distinction if you want to sink your mana into something late in the game. A versatile card that has many uses.

Bonesplitter is one of my favored targets if I'm not hurting for mana. A 4/2 for 4Blue isn't that bad, especially when you get to keep the 2/0 'creature with haste'.

since it's CMC1 or less shouldn't it put it into play?

This is easily one of the most unassumingly powerful cards in the entire game. It might not look it, but this guy has some punch to him. When he enters the battlefield, he tutors for everything from:

Mirrodin's artifact lands (Ancient Den, Seat of the Synod, Vault of Whispers, Great Furnace, Tree of Tales, Darksteel Citadel),

to any of the Moxen or Lotuses (Mox Pearl, Mox Sapphire, Mox Jet, Mox Ruby, Mox Emerald, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox, Black Lotus, Lotus Bloom, Lotus Petal),

to relevant equipment (Skullclamp, Sigil of Distinction, Basilisk Collar),

to the Spellbombs (Sunbeam Spellbomb, Æther Spellbomb, Necrogen Spellbomb, Pyrite Spellbomb, Lifespark Spellbomb),

to other relevant artifacts (Brittle Effigy, Chalice of the Void, Cursed Scroll, Engineered Explosives, Elixir of Immortality, Dispeller's Capsule, Everflowing Chalice, Executioner's Capsule, Expedition Map, Feldon's Cane, Grindstone, Lion's Eye Diamond, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Sol Ring, Meekstone, Orochi Hatchery, Pithing Needle, Relic of Progenitus, Scrabbling Claws, Sensei's Divining Top, Tormod's Crypt, Voltaic Key, Welding Jar, Zuran Orb), or even creatures (Ornithopter, Court Homunculus, Metalic Sliver, Phyrexian Dreadnought).

At its absolute worst, it's a blue Civic Wayfinder. A it's best, it's the best blue tutor since Tinker.
