"(...) Also, sure looks like a Scout to me. What gives?" — HuntingDrake
I tend to agree, and I'd have liked him as a Satyr Scout.
But despite the name and suggestive image, when you look at it flavorwise (by reading the flavortext and remembering what Satyrs are all about), you'll notice the only thing Satyrs are scouting for are parties and new ways to get wasted, so Wizards probably didn't make him a Scout for a reason :P
He would be so incredibly good if he could give you multiple lands like Mulch as well (or if he had 2 power).
But I think he'll still do a decent job in the right deck — he'll usually get you a land and mills you for three.
(Or just mills you for four, which will happen either by bad chance or because you really want to — thanks to the may-clause — since you can profit from that, e.g. by getting Threshold)

would anyone consider this close to a greenified Augur of Bolas? augur brings a better body in blue, but only searches three deep for instants or sorceries. i love a good spell heavy deck, but it kinda restricts how often i can use augur.
Satyr Wayfinder meanwhile digs (pun intended) four deep for lands, not just basic, and helps ensure future land hits, even if your mana is solid. sure, a 1/1 is more underwelling than a Birds of Paradise in my opinion, but its something to bounce/flick with guys like Nulltread Gargantuan or Restoration Angel.
personally, i found the use for Satyr Wayfinder in a G/W Sun Titan build. using birds and Knight of the Reliquary to ramp, Wayfinder's graveyard toss effect is actually helpful with pumping the knight's P/T and stocking the bin with Titan targets. pretty cool little fella.
