It actually combos with Leveler, just not in the way you're thinking. You can still grab four cards from your sideboard or collection.
Ideally, they should be four cards that will kill your opponent next turn.

I find it's interesting how people are talking about imprinting Research on an Isochron Scepter to come in for a left-field victory with Battle of Wits. As it's a split card, however, you can imprint Research, then pay 2 mana each turn to play Development! Constantly casting Development will give you a lot of card advantage as it ends somewhere between Ancestral Recall and a Feral Lightning that doesn't die at the end of turn. Putting nine points of power worth of attackers into play at instant speed is hard to ignore, and card drawing wins games. Having this in a Scepter Chant deck will ensure that you either reach your win conditions in time, or it will become a win condition itself.

Yeah, I'll just go ahead and shuffle All Shall Smolder in My Wake, An Urza Vanguard card, Isle of Vesuva, and a Kaalia of the Vast oversized Commander card into my deck.
This card is hilarious.

unfortuneatly, the izzet ability is slightly overcosted. 5 mana for 3 cards? The tokens don't have haste?

right now, research has me pulling at my hair. I used to use it to recover my imprinted cards, but I am told that with the new M10 rules, I am limited to sideboard, not the Exiled pile. Which has me REALLY confuzzled. Exile removes things from the game, but not really (which is really a headscratcher!!!)

I definitely like the "wish" ability.
The Development is technically not as good as Tidings, but there are probably some advantages to being multicolored, versus mono blue. (Such as Cloven Casting)

That was one really nice cards, it is true that the two parts don't fit together but the Research was really interesting and the Development ont is fun, so overall a really nice card.

Wait, you can play both Research AND Development at the same time? I thought you had to choose one or the other...
