Why wasn't this in the Mirror Mastery theme deck? It's cheap enough to double with Riku to get yourself 6 cards for 5 mana, it lends itself to shenanigans in multiplayer, and it's the only other card ever printed in that wedge. Seems perfect to me.

Don't compare this to browbeat and dash hopes. There are FAR too many good things this can do in multiplayer EDH. If you've formed an alliance this can be a 3 cost tutor 3 amazing cards, or with Riku of the two reflections it can get up to 9 rather easily...

A good combo with this card is Mindslaver your opponent, and use their Glittering Wish to get Research // Development, use Research to shuffle some cards into their deck, play this (as your opponent).
You can have Sorrow's Path, Bog Hoodlums and Celestial Prism.

no need to run mind slaver shenanigans or only having a few creatures - in a multiplayer game, just use diplomacy and convince one of your opponents to find you good cards!

This is great fun in EDH/Commander, although it tends to cause the game to come to a screeching halt as your opponent has a lot of cards to decide from. Especially when I copy it with Riku of Two Reflections.

Even without the shenanigans of only having one creature like blitz hellion or something of that sort, this card is still 3 cards for 3cmc. Generally you want to put cards in your deck that you think are good at all times :p. I can't think of a situation where this would not be good.
The color restriction is kind of a bummer, but for this kind of card advantage it's duly warranted. It makes it have to be built around though.
I like it. 4.5 stars.

Very solid. The aforementioned trick of running it as your only noncreature, nonland card is easier than ever with all the ETB effects running around, so you can probably find a creature to replace most any function you used noncreatures for in the past. In the right deck, this will just keep coming back for more advantage again and again, and building a deck to tutor specific things is well worth it. The fact that it guarantees your next land drop is just delicious, delicious icing.

Go get me a Sliver, a land, and my other Guided Passage. Sounds like I need 8.

Very underrated. Getting three cards for one for 3 mana isn't bad to begin with. This is a great combo tutor, and an excellent choice to be imprinted on Spellweaver Helix
