The card is useful and suits into the deck, yet I would have prefered to see Synapse Sliver to get reprinted instead.
Distant Melody is generous tribal card advantage while the Sliver would have been a choice exclusively available for Sliver decks, and as opposed to that one it was already available with new card design anyways.
Of course this takes in a common slot while Synapse Sliver would have required a rare slot, but i think Fungus Sliver could have been replaced for Reflex Sliver or Spinneret Sliver then to solve that problem. Green might be a major color of this deck, yet a change in rarity slots as opposed to a change in quantity of green cards would not really have made any difference.

Perfect for Slivers. An awesome card. Would rather have had 2 of these than an Ameoboid Changeling.

You might end up drawing a hand more full than you can hold if you play this late.

@Dr34m0f7hi5 white has few drawing cards, though you can rely on artifacts they are expensive, white has Convalescent Care, aTruce, Pursuit knowledge, and Mesa Enchantress. But if you want to use artifacts, probably the best for a white deck is Well of lost dreams, you can try equipment's like infiltration lens or skullclamp or artifact's like angelheart vial, mind's eye or the classic jayemdae tome also.

No wonder this was included with slivers.

Anything like this in White for a Vintage Soldier Deck? I need to draw cards in mono-white...

Slate of Ancestry could be your best bet, and its reusable too.

BLUE CARD DRAW!!
This card would be better as green because its conditional card draw around creatures.

Oddly not that good for faeries, as while it's a great card (combos like crazy with Bitterblossom), there are already a ton of great faeries in the 4 drop spot, such as Mistbind Clique, Wydwen, the Biting Gale, Glen Elendra Archmage, and Sower of Temptation.

Great for a Talrand, Sky Summoner EDH deck. You'll have plenty of drakes to draw for.
