Hmmm. Scry 2 is almost as good as "draw a card". So this pretty much incentivises the opponent to cast something on your turn, to give you the oneoff payout rather than the ongoing benefit. Is that what you were going for? A Crystal Ball that the opponent can force to crack?
Yeah, that was my aim. I may have overshoot it and should up the mana cost a bit, but the tension was "ok, I'm going to keep on checking my library until you provoke me".
In-story, it represents the bond with the land, broken when Tezzeret started doing shenanigans.
It's quite skill-testing for an opopnent. Because drawing a card is also very good; so the opponent may well be tempted to hold off on removing it.
So yeah, nice card. Though indeed, perhaps slightly undercosted since it has no body to kill.
