I'm imagining Shardless Agent just chilling upside-down in my armies. Even when he's attacking he's always hanging upside-down from something. When I cast him, my enemies go "WTF, why is he upside-down?" and that baffles them enough that I can cast another spell for free.

Extremely powerful card, already played in Legacy. I wouldn't be all that surprised if this little Gem actually made a huge impact on the Eternal formats.
Also: I'm really happy that U/G (Simic) got some love, as there are not a whole lot of good U/G cards out there.. :-)
5/5 Easily!

Faerie Impostor has a great synergy with this.
Didn't cascade into the spell you wanted yet?
Bounce your agent and try again, maybe you get your Ancestral Recall this time.
And they're both rogues, so you can also consider building a tribal deck around them.
Wu Spy is yet another rogue that has an etb-ability that offers some topdeck control.
Which means he is great with both the impostor as well as the agent.
And he also works nicely with Auntie's Snitch, which again works nicely with Lore Broker.
Add Cloak and Dagger and you'll be able to shroud any rogue you cast immediately.
On top of that you get a sweet +2/+0 boost. And you can cascade into this equipment, too.

Cascade is a weird and hard-to-understand ability, but in truth, it's one of the best in the game.
For 
, you get a 2/2 artifact creature (can help with Metalcraft or Cradlecraft), and you get something that cost less than 3 that isn't a land. In short, you get two cards for one.
It's like a cantrip, but better. Maybe I should call it a roidtrip.
See, you could make your whole deck ONLY have one spell that costs less than 3: Sol Ring? Diving Top? Hypergenesis? Pick your poison, mate.
Once you play him/her, it pretty much becomes a "Search your library for a card with CMC less than 3, and put it into play."
Deceivingly amazing.

I've had an opponent ragequit with this card just by pulling Ancestral Vision. Keep in mind that this also gets Baleful Strix, Tarmogoyf, Hymn to Tourach, Umezawa's Jitte, Stoneforge Mystic... not to mention all the cool one-drops it can hit.
@DoragonShinzui — you couldn't be any more wrong. This card is a great representation of Alara post-reunification. It's a Bant-colored artifact creature (perhaps they've teamed up with Esper?) with one of Alara's most-cherished (or most-hated) mechanics. But if you're only looking at the flavor of this card, you're doing it wrong. This is playability first and flavor second.

@Trygon_Predator, Mistralis: That's the flavor of the card. You can't tell where this guy's from or where he belongs because he's the Shardless Agent

Shardless Agent is female. The eyebrows are a giveaway.
