This is trying hard to look like Intuition, but remember, Intuition searches while this reveals. Not only that, but I thought there were enough of those "reveal the top and choose some of them. discard the rest" in Green (Mulch, Grisly Salvage).
Whatever the cause, 
is just a little too much for this to be played anywhere. I'd rather have a Divination, sadly.

First compare this to Intuition
Then compare this to Forbidden Alchemy.
Then compare this to Impulse
Then compare this to Ponder.
Then compare this to Brainstorm.
Then compare this to Ancestral Recall.
WOOOOOWWWW XD
(I'm aware that almost all of these cards are too good for Standard. Telling Time is probably the appropriate Standard choice. I just find it even more entertaining to compare .5 star cards to 6.5 star cards x3 )

Strictly worse than Impulse in 3 instances: it's a sorcery, costs 
more, and you look 1 card less! I don't care about where the other cards go, but someone may sees it as an upside... If you think that this fact is enought to consider this over Impulse, I'm sorry for you...
I'm not asking for a reprint of Impulse, but at least they could have reprinted Strategic Planning, since it have a nice name and is already strictly worse than Impulse. Or at least a simplier version of Forbidden Alchemy, without the Flashback... They really are afraid of the power of blue draw in the early game? Banning Ponder and Preordain in modern wasn't enough? Reprinting Sleight of Hand or Telling Time wasn't safe for the metagame?
1/5

@leomistico
Impulse is a bad comparison because in a lot of cases graveyard is way better than back in your deck. Just look at the comments on fact or fiction or gifts ungiven. If it weren't for the graveyard part of fact or fiction, it would usually be worse than a draw three. So many things love being in your graveyard.

No redeeming features at all. Slow, expensive, and doesn't dig as many cards as other alternatives. Complete crap in almost every way.

However, none of the 'better' cards have a cleverly placed naked chick in the art. 5/5

I'd rather have Forbidden Alchemy than this. Forbidden Alchemy will rotate soon, but this still isn't worth playing unless Theros has some graveyard mechanics.

The only place I see this being useful is when someone has you on lockdown unable to draw cards: Maralen of the Mornsong or wants to punish you for drawing: Runeflare Trap which are SO niche that this card is poop.
