This card is like Fools Gold.. it looks too good to be true, but it's just extremely narrow. And unlike Ancestral Visions, you can't even cheat it into play like you could with snapcaster mage or cascade or w/e
1.5/5

Tap four Gelectrodes.
EDIT: This is a stupid idea; they will only untap before the spell resolves. Derp.

Much harder to use than it looks. Great with Leyline of Anticipation or similar cards as it mostly nullifies the drawback.
The mix of those and a Lullmage control deck seems plausible.

@djflo:
No, you're on to something. Four Gelectrodes out. You cast this. As an additional cost (so before you cast it, not afterwards), you tap the Gelectrodes. Now that the spell is cast and on the stack, the Gelectrodes get a chance to trigger and go "HEY! You played a sorcery! I'm going to untap now!". The Gelectrodes untap and if all goes as planned, your spell resolves and the stack is empty.
Granted, getting every Gelectrode in your deck is really hard. I'd rather run this with Teferi, Quicken or Leyline of Anticipation.

Would've been cooler if this thing had Conspire.

This has got me thinking about Cheerios, pretty much the only place it would be viable.
Sorcery speed makes it suck pretty bad IMO.
