The effect is comparable to Fact or Fiction. It costs Red more though, but his is one of the best instant draw spells I've ever seen in standard.

DoragonShinzui hit the nail on the head.
This should have cost 2BlueRed because, as it stands, it's a multicolored card that's pretty much strictly worse than Tidings.
Fall of the Gavel is another uncommon card that similarly would have made a great spell had it only cost 2WhiteBlue.

Legit card, I'd play this no matter who tells me whether or not they think it's good. The graveyard's a good place to stash some Forbidden Alchemys and Faithless Lootings in some kind of crazy Grixis deck. Also, great card for Omniscience, for those of us who refuse to drop $20 on Sphinx's Revelation.

Seems that the Izzet take the "thinking cap" literally.

3.5/5

Goblin Electromancer makes the cost a lot sweeter. Discarding flahsback spells helps to eke extra value out of this. Helps you dig for combo pieces. Solid card for Budget Izzet.

The fact that Opportunity is currently in standard just sort of outclasses this poor guy. Only being able to gain two cards for a five cmc card is mediocre.

2/5

It lets you go 4 cards deep into your library at instant speed. That's pretty damn good already. In the right deck, you should be dropping 2 flashback cards into your graveyard, or perhaps useful stuff that you can get back with Snapcaster Mage, Unburial Rites, and the like. This card is far better than its current rating of 2.95/5. I personally give it a 4.5/5 because not only does it let you draw 4 for 3BlueRed, but it lets you discard 2 cards in a format where your graveyard is an easily-accessible resource.

edit: Now mostly outclassed by Steam Augury, and with flashback out of Standard this drops from a 4.5 to a 3.5. Still a decent option though.

Sometimes, discarding can prove to be a small upside. Especially now that Izzet has Spellheart Chimera.
