Missing word added

Is it me, or is Scout just a readged scry? Is it worth using up such a nice word for such a minor tweak on the ability?

Interesting Fog variant, though.

Scout was top-down. For what it's worth, I've never been a fan off scry, especially as an evergreen. Admittedly, the difference is minute, but to use scry instead cards could only use scry 1. That being said, a tweak towards Ixalan's Explore is something I considered since that mechanic appeared.

I mean you already have omen, why both?

Omen does something different. Scout is checking one card to reap a reward and allowing the card to be moved if the player wants as backup so a failed scout might not be as feel-bad. Omen wants to get more copies of your permanents to your hand, so it can check a greater number of cards. Thinking now, Omen could have been a good choice to use for the bgu mechanic in Diaspora, but I don't regret choosing Retrace.
