Crack the Earth from Kamigawa is a good combo with this card, and it forces your opponent to sac a permanent too. 2 cards for 3 cards and opponent losing a permanent.

It's annoying when people spout over-assertive opinions in the form of lists to make them seem more definitive. This with Perilous Research does indeed look awesome but I wonder if there are any other, even better and less direct ways of smashing the egg? I love cards like this! Johnnys unite!

I would have prefered it for 
.
This card requires you to come up with a combo to get any use at all, since it doesn't do anything by itself.
Visions of Beyond for example just costs as well and you can always draw your next card if the conditions for the 'ancestral effect' aren't met, so this will at worst cost you one blue mana.
On the other hand the requirements for this card aren't as easily met, and Wizards is afraid that Hatching Plans could get broken easier.
And you see this this is in fact one of those cards that can get better with each new set.
Probably this will someday find a great use, when this can get into play easily or get into the graveyard even easier.
Building a deck around Arcane Denial currently seems more appealing to me than this though: If you have a spell that you can cast for free, you can counter it with Arcane Denial and draw three cards in your next upkeep. ... (see all)

Hello, hello Despotic Scepter! Oh? You don't mind breaking my two drop? Why thank you! Oh? You'll do it for free for the rest of the game? What a bargain!

You could probably design a deck around this card...
...It just wouldn't be that good of a deck.

It's like the Standstill that misfired.
