First of all, it's a 2 colorless card draw. Second, it gives you FREE mana fixing. This is a great reprint, definitely will come in handy in Limited.

If you are playing 3 or more colors at the prerelease then you want this card. The continual investment might seem inferior to Transguild Promenade, but this replaces it's self and doesn't come in to play tapped.

I always liked this card. One of the best reprints in Gatecrash.

A colorless Abundant Growth, really. Which is good.

Anyone who rates this less than 5 stars, has never played with this card. It's basically cycling for 2 that fixes mana.

Stellar mana fixing card, especially for Limited, this should definitely be rated higher than its current 1.5/5 rating

Still the best 2cmc mana filter ever.

Easily the best art in the set.
Okay, this set has some stellar art, but this piece is just amazing.

This is actually in terms of virtual card advantage the same as divination.
You Cast (-1 cards)
Get card on board (+1 card)
Draw a card (+1 card)
Total: +1
Divination:
You Cast (-1)
Draw 2 cards (+2)
Total (+1)
Think of this like elvish visionary, but, instead of getting a willow elf, you get mana cylix. This card is boss. Just put it in a deck, geeze. Generally this kind of effect wouldn't be worth a card, but, it's not a card, it's just straight value. In other words, play it in every limited deck, and in commander.

I would have been delighted to see this in my pool during the prerelease. Alas, I had only 2 guildgates and 15 basic lands. On the bright side, all of my spells were very splashable, and I even had two hybrid cards. There was a game where I drew nothing but Islands and Plains and was able to stick a Deathcult Rogue with Gift of Orzhova. It did feel weird, playing Dimir as if it were Azorius.
