I only just noticed that this is the only one from its cycle that didn't use one of the Ravnica keywords:
Tolaria West: Transmute, from Dimir
Dakmor Salvage: Dredge, from Golgari
Keldon Megaliths: Hellbent, from Rakdos
Llanowar Reborn: Graft, from Simic
It seems odd that they'd set up that symmetry, and then break it-- They could have given this Forecast, or Haunt, or Radiance (Convoke wouldn't really make sense, on a land).

@syrazemyla: Hrm...I kinda like it. But perhaps we could combine the mechanics this land already has?
Forecast - , Scry X
I only use X 'cause I can't think of any particular number, but still. I like the idea of a land you don't play.

Now strictly worse than Temple of Abandon, Temple of Triumph, and two other lands coming in the rest of Theros block....

This is definitely the Future Sight of the Zendikar common spell-lands. I'm surprised because according to the development articles for Zen, the common spell-lands weren't added in their current form until near the end of development, yet this card shows that the idea had been around for a while.

This is the worst from its cycle, and strictly worse than the Theros scrylands. I think this would be limited playable if it scryed 2, but at scry 1 lots of times it doesn't do a thing.

awesome, land with scry = awesome,
however the comes into play tapped clause is detrimental especially in white,
it has limited and edh potential but beyond that there sin't anything to add.

In casual games this is not a bad card at all. Scry 1 for coming into play tapped is just fine. In the right deck, and arguably in most decks this is not a real drawback at all.
Play alongside Halimar Depths if you want to go deep!

Nice, but really should be scry 2.

A land with Scry is great, and people who enjoy thematic decks will love the inclusion of the oft-mentioned Benalia.
Probably underrated, especially since it has strong combo-capabilities.
3.5/5
