A lot of people liked this card. Too many, almost. I never got a chance to draft with the thing, because they'd always be snagged early.

It's good, but it isn't that good. But there's something about this card that reminds people of Ponder and Thoughtcast and makes them say "Holy Carp!" I suppose, I shouldn't worry too much about it. It's nice to see people fawning over your cards, no matter how you evaluate them. It's also nice to be able to play with your own toys, though. Since I will rarely value this card better than... let's say a body that can attack: The Cephalid Spellmerchant, it will never end up in my deck.

Seems a reasonable tweak on Sleight of Hand. I find it plausible that Wizards will obsolete Sleight of Hand at some point, so this seems a very reasonable way to do it.

Not a strict upgrade to Sleight of Hand, since you put the other card back on top. I think this may be why many players rate it higher than I do... they misread the card.

Of course, my wording was "put one on top of your library" which is probably unnecessary and misleading. Removed that phrase, and left something that might cue people in better to what's going on.
