Flashback support? Miracle enabler? Reanimator? Weird possibilityfor dredge? This seems better every time I look at it.

Trygon_Predator: So does this mean RTR decks that are primarily UR will get called "Niv-Mizzet's Yearly Travels" or thereabouts?

@MANABURNWASGOOD - there are a few reasons why this is good in a miracle deck. Like you say, there are lots of ways to draw cards, but this does not take up a non-land space in your deck. Being a land, it is also far harder to get rid of than something like merfolk looter. And then there is the synergy between this, miracles and noxious revival. Got an entreat the angels in hand and only 4 mana? No problem, activate the lighthouse, discard entreat and draw something more useful. Then Revive entreat later (hopefully next turn).

Miracle could go nuts with this card. It's in two great Miracle colors, it lets you draw on your opponent's turn (giving you twice the opportunities to cast for miracle cost), and if you end up with a Miracle in hand you can't cast, you can toss it and grab something else. Plus it's in Faithless Looting colors.

Most looters are lackluster because they're card disadvantage. The fact that this is also a land almost entirely nullifies this drawback. Not as flashy as Alchemist's Refuge (see what I did there?), but still. Good card is good.

I don't get people loving miracle with this....any card that would let you draw would work with that mechanic so let's calm down. i mean divining top....

This is probably the 2nd best of the 4 rare lands in the set. Caverns being the first.

A whopping 1BlueRed just to loot? This card would've been fine at uncommon with the effect costing BlueRed. Creature or not, Enclave Cryptologist loots more efficiently at uncommon.
