Someone must have liked New Benalia but thought it should Scry for more then 1. Shifting it into the library-manipulation color is the easiest way to justify increasing the Scry number (by itself enough to make it Scry: 2). Changing the effect from Scry to reordering the top of the library allowed this to reorder 1 more card then if this had a Scry effect.

this works great with a landfall deck:
use it to put a land on top of your deck.

Since it comes into play tapped, it's best to play it when you can't use it! A great land to bounce, combined with landfall.

Almost as good as Ponder very nice addition for Blue. Without the card draw though, it lacks the punch that some other Scry/manipulation cards bring to the table. Still a reliable setup card though.
Great for setting up "top deck" effects like Djinn of Wishes.
4/5

This and Deprive work beautifully together in any control/counter deck.

I think this is the best "Sorcery Land" in the Zendikar block. (Valakut and friends serve more as "Enchantment Lands") The access can be crucial when running Conundrum Sphinx, and bouncing this with Deprive is smart too. However, it is painful late game and you reveal three lands (this does happen), but other than that great card. 4.5*
