I like it! Instant speed card draw that can net a total of two cards. Much better than Mysteries of the Deep.

Favorite reprint of the set! It's always nice to have a card that's this strong and this unassuming at the same time, since it keeps people who don't know what they're doing from playing it. And then you can laugh at them. ;)

It hurts to see how many comments are "this card sucks, because your spending 2 mana to draw 1 card"

This card is AMAZING, like 5 star draw card material (note that preordain is 6 out of 5 stars)

Why is it good? Simple, for one and only reason. It is an instant. When you have 2 mana open and are holding this card and a mana leak, you wait for the opponent to make a move. if their is nothing leak worthy, you draw an extra card, and if there is something leak worthy, you leak it. Pretty simple.

Most draw cards are sorcery to MAKE you spend extra mana you normally wouldnt have spent to get more options. Instant draw cards more or less avoid the mana tax because you can do it at any time. Thus the extra mana you normally pay for the card becomes somewhat of a moot point. Think twice is one of the few instant speed draw cards they printed that actually has balance AND usability.

If you dont think instant speed is important or valuable, do us all a favor and dont rate on any site, we ... (see all)

Cantrip? Twicetrip. OH YEAHHHH.

I like Minus_Prime's comment a lot. On the other side, this card is an unusual but powerful choice for Counterbalance decks in Legacy. Any Counterbalance control deck has a tough time spending mana efficiently during turns, as you need to hold your Brainstorms to use with Counterbalance. I've spent several opponents' end phases burning 1 to spin Sensei's Divining Top, wondering what to do with my three or four remaining untapped Islands.

Think Twice has solved that problem for me, and it ramps perfectly; I can Think and spin my top on opponent turn 3, flashback Think and spin my top on opponent turn 4. It gives me a solid CMC 2 slot for Brainstorm+Counterbalance counterspell purposes. I've never been said to see it show up; sometimes I even playtest with two Think Twice in the deck, though 1 seems just right for the CMC curve.

Nobody bothers to counter Think Twice either time, whereas th... (see all)

How does an x4 standard staple have a 3.5 rating???????????????????
On MTGO every Blue deck is running x4, so maybe you nubs DONT know what your talking about?

Guys, this is miles ahead of divination for being instant speed. You can pay 1Blue turn 2 if you don't need to Syncopate, and pay the 2Blue turn 3 if you don't need to Dissipate.

With divination, you have to tap out and get destroyed. Learn to play please.

Does anybody else think that looks like Katara doing waterbending from Avatar: the Last Airbender?

I love this art much more than the Time Spiral one. :)

It dawned on me at 5 am that this magnificent piece of blue sexiness was cycling out. I seriously started crying.

does a 2U effect (Divination anyone?) for 3UU, seems legit ... also the flashback can be stopped by Cards like Grafdigger's Cage which people will have out anyways just because. I guess it's good for scaring the living s**t out of people when they cast a spell by tapping 1U(the cost of mana leak) to play a card that does nothing and replaces itself. I guess people should play this in limited but for constructed I don't see a logical home, even though it is going to be auto-included. Divination would have to get banned/not get reprinted for me to consider this in standard no less any constructed format.

Wizards really? Make it do something, please, like 1 damage to target un-flipped creature, i mean delver .. wait what? Worst card draw legal in standard.

4/5 for trolling your friends
3/5 in limited
2/5 in constructed

What a useless card. For my draw, pull a card so I can spend mana to draw a card. If this card wasn't there, I would have that card, and still have two more mana to spend on it.
