... but you have to cast it immediately or not at all? If that's the case, then this is very bad. Actually, compared to Praetor's Grasp this is horrible in any case. Well, okay grasp doesn't mana fix, but still.

It wasn't intended to be "immediately". If it was, I wouldn't have been sure you would need to exile it. Is it ambiguous?

You seem to count the sealed-fate ability of the card as completely worthless. Is that accurate?

on 08 Jun 2017 by Tahazzar:

IMO it is.

And yes, I totally missed the sealed fate functionality. Notice the emphasis on given by "on top of that player's library" in Sealed Fate so that detail isn't missed - like I did with the current wording.

I propose the following wording:
> Look at the top three cards of target player's library. You may exile a creature card among those cards. Put the rest back on top of that player's library in any order. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that creature spell.

I took lots of wording advice for that revised wording from a bunch of cards such as Psychic Intrusion. I think the "exile creature card, put back on top" is separated into two sentences since the first one carries the "may" clause - like with Commune with Nature.

Use T's wording. Functionality should be the same. (Was: "Look at the top three cards of target player's library. You may exile a creature card from among them. Put the rest back in any order. // You may cast the exiled card spending mana as though it was any color.")

Fair enough, that wording sounds good.

You pretty much never do anything with cards you look at other than put them back in any order, so I hadn't noticed.
