@Campcrunch

A little tip: the people who are good at magic actually construct decks of their own with the cards they have! It's ok, I used to limited was the extent of magic, too. You'll turn 12 soon, though.

This is a very reasonable card in any black deck. It is also a very good replacement for Think Twice in Esper control.

At first I'd been weighing this against Sign In Blood, which is a staple in my Pauper MBC deck. Is it worth an additional mana to ensure that the cards I draw aren't merely Swamps? Well, I have to say two things: #1) Yes. My deck has a few keys cards it needs to set itself off and this will help in getting them; and #2) Why compare them when I can just run both? Divination sees some play and it doesn't even get to scry beforehand, so I'm confident this will be played in Standard and then find itself a home in many black Pauper decks.

This is one of three commons in this set I am truly excited about adding to a Pauper deck. Pauper, unfortunately, usually doesn't get many toys. So when it does I'm happy to find a place for them. For those curious, the other two cards are: Gray Merchant of Asphodel (which goes well with this card), and Akroan Crusader (a nice build-around-me card).

One of the best commons (if not the best common) in the set, IMO. As an EDH player.

Digging four deep for 3 mana is pretty damn good. Its not Ancient Cravings, but its almost as good.

This is so good that I almost forgot to draw the cards at the prerelease, because the scry 2 in itself felt so satisfying.

Well pauper black gets another good draw card outside of Sign in Blood.

Was getting tired of the Skulltap variants.
