Very versatile, can fetch any instant or card with flash you need. The flashback is what makes this card really good. It gives you an extra spell which can be used to chain Teachings together for maximum card advantage or get another answer.

If I have nightscape familiar out and I flash this back, does it cost 5B or 4B?

Nearly every card in Time Spiral block was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.
This card references the card Mystical Tutor. It was part of a powerful control deck of the day when in combination with Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, a card which made all creatures in your deck legal targets for Mystical Teachings.

Pact of Negation would be a neat trick with this.

Instant tutor with flashback? I believe this alone would have enabled the whole deck back when this was in Standard. Even if Teferi hadn't existed, you could still literally drown them with the card advantage this generates.
This one card fetches you 2 Careful Considerations minimum, all alone and at instant speed. What more could you ask of a control card? Counter something and tapping their team at the same time, with two more possible good options?

The perfect card? Amazing.
Wafo-Tapa's work with it is genius:

Instant speed blue tutor at 4 mana. And it has flashback, what a card.

Pretty good tutor effect that has seen play in multiple formats without being broken. Nice.

very cool that this is a common card also, besides that I agree with asca.
