Foil and Daze are sort of synergistic.
There's got to be some potential use for this in a Life from the Loam deck, discarding an Island and another land -- Loam would make obtaining and recovering discarded lands easy, and Tropical Islands or whatever would help pay for Intuition and transmuting Tolaria West. It'd be hard to recover the Foil if it was dredged into the graveyard, though...

It's worse than FoW, yes.
This was in a Duel Deck with about 12 other musthave cards.
FoW is about 150$ for a playset, optimistically.
Judges?

I know how people are always banging on about 'repring Force of Will! Premium Deck Series: No! :D"
If such a deck ever existed, they would absolutely have to put 4 of these in it.
Think about it. Foil Foils? Yes. Must do. Must have NAOW.

I heard this is Tamiyo's way to counter when she gets the -8 emblems up.

I picked up a foil one of these recently, if only because Foil Foil. Works well in my Sedris reanimator deck; I discard an Island and a bomb that I can unearth and get the advantage of countering a really big spell that would have generated my opponent a lot of advantage that he only cast because I was tapped out.

Foil lets you discard. Sweet, If i had Watery Graves or Underground Seas, I'd run this with Gush and Daze in Reanimator.

While it's not better, this card does have a few advantages over Force of Will, actually.
1) It has a CMC of 4 as opposed to FoW's 5, making this card easie to hard cast.
2) It's alternate cost causes no life loss. unlike Fow.
3) The card you discard with FoW has to be blue, unlike this card. Foil allows you to ditch two lands if you choose. Provided one of them is an island, of course.
4) This card doesn't cost 70$.

Even if it a bit worse than Force of Will, I admit that Foil saved my ass often.
5/5
