Good especially for Aggro-combo decks. Not bad at all.

Use with Saproling Symbiosis for fun times.

Oh, sorry, I meant @ Sooku, not you, Emross!!! :D

@Sooku
Saproling Symbiosis will never cause Glimpse of Nature's ability to trigger because the condition states that a creature spell must be cast. Putting a Saproling token onto the battlefield is not the same as casting a creature spell.

This is in general cheap card advantage in most creature-heavy decks, especially when most of them have a low mana cost and/or got it reduced by other cards, or if you bring some mana accel (e.g. Lotus Petal or Spirite Guides).
But Glimpse of Nature can find use in many tournament formats.

If you manage to create a good deck with many one-drops (or certain creatures that can be played for free, e.g. Kobolds, some artifact creatures or similar stuff like Skyshroud Cutter) this card should be insane.
It also works very nicely with Summoner's Pact.
When playing that many creatures, especially Storm Entity, Grapeshot or Tendrils of Agony should do a nice job as well, Culling the Weak could be used as black mana ramp (e.g. for the former mentioned storm card).
Dark Confident might be also worth using if you're going to run no high-cost cards.

I thought about combining this one with Edgewalker, which can reduce colored mana cost, meaning you can play Cleric one-drops for free. Best part: There are awesome choices out there, e.g. Dark Supplicant (which can bring out Scion of Darkness ridiculously early that way), Mother of Runes, or others like Soul Warden. Unfortunately you have to manage three colors then.

In an artifact deck this plan could work out in a similar way with Cloud Key, Etherium Sculptor, or even Mycosynth Golem.

An uber-johnny deck which relies on that card might as well consider using Serum Powder, since you should mulligan if it's not in your opening hand.

Another nice combo you might add to such a deck is Chalice of the Void and Multani's Presence. It's similar to Glimpse with the slight difference that your creatures will end up in the graveyard, yet this still enables great Storm effects and cycling through your deck until you get the accordant card.
Such decks sometimes also use very few lands only, the best choice likely being Gaea's Cradle. Forest (duals) again can be added and fetched for free with Land Grant.

It's kinda bad, actually. You'll need to play at least two creature spells to get back the card advantage you lost from playing this sucker. If you're playing storm, you're better off with just getting of that Dragonstorm instead of wasting your time drawing additional cards while wasting card slots on creatures. And of course, you could play free creatures, but then again, you just put a whole lot of pointlessly weak creatures on the board. And now? If I wanted to do wacky things with Glorious Anthem kind of stuff, I might just as well have played a B/W token deck and slaughtered people without ever needing the additional green to draw some additional cards.
Even my inner Johnny doesn't like this card.

I feel like the combo you would need to build to exploit this card could already have won without this card... not a fav of mine.

Just to know some precision about that card: if I cast 3 creatures cards from my hand (for example: ornithopter) and then I cast Glimpse of Nature, does it trigger? and may I draw 3 cards?

hooray for combo elves. cast this turn 2 with heritage druid and 2 Nettle Sentinel, then burn through the entire deck using elvish visionary and multiples to compensate for land draws

@wedew
You cast glimpse first, then creatures

this is why kobolds are good!!

The elf-drawing machine, only useful when casting large amounts of creatures in one turn...

works great with priest of gix b/c the priest gives back his mana cost in BBB and then you can reuse it to play another priest or any other black spell w/ CMC 3 (there are a lot of good ones). or you could even throw in a dark ritual and really have fun

How did this not get rated higher. It was responsible for turn two kills in extended.

This card is epic in an affinity deck. Then it reads: "Puke your hand twice, and still have a hand."
My favorite combo with it is glimpse of nature + glimpse of nature. Then it reads "Puke your entire library. You still have a hand." Be careful not to mill yourself with too many creatures; the card draw isn't optional.

Ten dollars for this bad boy. Lets elves break face faster than Marit Lage. Good? Definately.

Did you know there are three kobolds with identical stats that all cost 0 mana? Not to mention ornithopter, phyrexian walker and memnite. This card allows some sick storm shenanigans.

This is just plain awesome. Add to decks based around free creatures, or use with Myojin of Life's Web just to put a final nail in the coffin.

A really good card. It's very powerful card draw, in a colour that doesn't get too much of it, but it's conditional on doing something that's a typical green ability. Very well designed and very powerful.

Should be an enchantment.

Beautiful card in both flavor and effect.

arg this card is so good in a elf deck, turn 2-3 emrakul and hard casted at that

A very effective card draw. I remember watching a friend's elf deck gleefully play everything in the library in one turn, and then his opponent pointed out that he was forced to draw from his empty library, thus losing the game.

Be careful with these powerful forced card draws, you guys.

How did no one mention Aluren + this = Win

As long as you're drawing creature cards and have some type of draw engine to make up for the non creature cards you'd be drawing.... this says "Let me dump my whole deck onto the field" if your playing Elves.

My recycle and alluren deck just found a replacement.

Such an amazing card.

Please forgive me, I've been out of the game for a while, so please excuse this basic question. If a player casts three creature cards then plays this card, does that player get to draw three cards or does the cycle of card-drawing begin when this card is played?

memnite
ornithopter
mox opal
frogmite
myr enforcer

Too bad it's banned.

@ Guest738348951

You have to play this card first, it says whenever, if you played it creature first:

Play a creature
Glimpse of Nature> now whenever you play a creature, this turn, you draw a card

Or

Glimpse of Nature> now whenever you play a creature, this turn, you draw a card
Play a creature> draw a card.

If it worked either way it would say something like, "For every creature spell you cast this turn, draw a card"

Never thought I'd see this card tearing up the tournament scene. Pretty good, though.

Here's looking at you, Cloudstone Curio.

Surprised no-one is suggesting it as an augment to affinity or any cheap artifact strategy...in the right deck, it basically keeps dropping things until you're at seven land in hand. Then Molten Psyche!

My idea involves a lot of one drops Sylvan Caryatid or Birds of Paradise and Intruder Alarm you can use a lot of your deck up in one go...
