So many references... The World Series of Dice, the shifty Mennonites on the Simpsons, that one Rush song (yes, I know it's actually Roll the Bones)...

We go out in the world and take our chances / Fate is just the weight of circumstances / That's the way that lady luck dances / Roll the bones.

Finds what you need or digs 4 for it. What's more? It's color light, it's card advantage, and requires nothing to work effectively. It's just good itself.

This card keeps sinking in my evaluation of this set, at least in draft. At first I saw the Black Foresee, but there are a number of archetypes in this format that just kill you before the card advantage can help. Best in the WB lifegain deck, with the Drain Turtles to help stall and gain some life back. Still, WU, RU, WR and RB all laugh in the face of this card. Sadly a three drop that can attack and block is just better most of the time.

Love this card, 2 life is a small price to pay to get what you need.

Draft this card.
Scry 2 is more powerful than you think, especially in limited. Most spells with scry cost 1-2 more than the version that don't have scry, but this adds a powerful scry for free.

The extra one mana is often worth paying over Sign in Blood. If you're going to lose two life to draw two cards you might as well get the most out of it.

From the moment this was printeed, future to any time, Divination is now known as "Read the Bones for wussies".
And it's great.

Time for some flavor explaining. Believe it or not, this card was based off of a divination device from early China.
Back in the days of early China, the Shang Dynasty, China's second dynasty, invented this little thing called Oracle Bones. If someone had a question, they would get one of these, go to the royal court, write their question on the bones, and then the priests would burn it until it had cracks in it. Then the priests would interpret what the cracks meant. The message was thought to be from dead ancestors, hence the flavor text. Long after the fall of the Shang dynasty, the early Greek copied the whole Oracle Bones concept.
That's what this card is about.
