Potentially very useful for ramping or thinning your deck of excess lands, and it doesn't even give away any information to your opponent as you look instead of reveal.

Free land drops every turn? Flavor text from Zendikar? I wonder what mechanic would work well with this? I truly wonder indeed...
Landfall will be back in Theros. You heard it here first, folks.

Try using it; this is very slow, too slow for Standard at least.

The thing about oracle of mul daya that I like more is that it can get you a card the turn you play it. This card has to sit a turn.

Playing control and using green? This is your friend. Nothing is worse than drawing mana when you need a threat or an answer, and this (usually) solves that problem.

I'm trying to gauge this thing in sealed deck. Anyone tried it? Will the advantage you get when drawing it early outweigh the low usefulness when you draw it towards the end of the game?

Whew... this is tough.
At first you have Oracle of Mul Daya. A decent creature with a great creature type and a very good effect.
And then there's this...
The question is, which is better?
Pros for this:
- Enchantments are harder to destroy than creatures.
- You don't have to have the top card of your library revealed. This can keep your deck secret while also not painting a massive target on your face (like if you reveal a Blightsteel Colossus...)
- This doesn't count towards the land count. You can still play your other lands after this without penalty.
Cons:
- Oracle was an elf. Elves have a lot of means of helping themselves autocard multive... (see all)

Question: if I have two of these in play, does it stack? Ie: can i look at the top two cards?

Utility:
At first glance, I compared this to Oracle of Mul Daya. This card does not look as powerful.. No body to beat with.. No two dropping lands on each turn.. Card advantage is much stronger with Oracle...
However, the bonus is that your top card is not revealed to your opponent and enchantments tend to stick around a little longer than creatures. This will give you good card advantage. I would consider running one or two in a Standard deck.
Overall Design:
The artwork has a lot of colours in it and it's a very nice looking card. The Flavour text is very fitting and it directly reference Oracle of Mul Daya which is a nice little easter egg. Very nicely designed card top to bottom.

If 24/60 cards in your deck are lands, this becomes a free card draw 40% of the time. Oh excuse me, free card draw and a free land.
