This card would have been a damn solid card, if it weren't for that last ability. With it, it's just broken.
@azure_drake222222: Sounds like a new Un-card to me!

I didn't realise this soon enough but the top is impossible to get rid of unless your opponents use Krosan Grip. You can respond to any artifact removal by simply tapping it and drawing your card. Then you redraw it and put it back. There is no way to stop it if it's already out so it's just insane.

5/5.

Amusingly, the Top makes Madblind Mountain look pretty good if you've got the red permanents to trigger it. If all three cards are bad, you can just try again!

That makes combo decks way stronger.

A highly powerful card, no matter what format you play. I feel its a serious EDH staple, especially if you can't find a Scroll Rack. (Though both together is insane card knowledge). The fact alone that its a 1 drop, and can allow you to essentially Ponder, minus the automatic draw, every turn for one additional mana is great. And the added bonus that it can save itself by sending itself back to the deck in response to an artifact kill is just nuts.

If you really want to have fun in EDH, run with a Voltaic Key so you can draw a card, then redraw the top right after so you don't 'dead draw' the top next turn. Pretty fun really!

I don't like this, and not just because I don't own any (though that's probably part of it).

In my opinion, it's just too quick, too cheap, and it's colorless. The existence of this one card blows the entire "look at the top and rearrange" mechanic completely out of the color pie. Nothing else even comes close.

I think we're looking at this card's name the wrong way. It isn't a divining top that belongs to a sensei, it's actually an action. Sensei is looking at the top of the library.
AKA, Sensei Is divining the top.
AKA. Sensei's Divining Top.
Enjoy your verb based artifact, Sensei.

My favorite card. I run it in EDH and also try to squeeze it into any Legacy deck I play.
