Me and my homies (who are non-existent) ignore the less than four lines mandate for NWO compliance.

This would read more clearly if the two sentences were in the other order.

Followed Alex's suggestion

by Vitenka:

You're kinda able to get away with it because quite a lot of those words are signalled by visionary.

But yeah, thematically this is simple enough. "Semi-scry, or super-scry 2". If you really did need to simplify; you could maybe:

Scry 2 then draw a card.
Visionary - Mill up to 1.

Which does fit, but is both slightly better and is actually harder to understand. So yeah, while this has a red flag; I'm pretty sure it would get through.

by Alex:

On power level, I will point out that Sleight of Hand is a pretty uninspiring 1-mana common sorcery. (Hm, though apparently it was reprinted at common. Weird.) On the other end of the bracket, Discovery // Dispersal is played in plenty of decks that don't have both colours of mana for the Dispersal half, so a {1} {u} Discovery at common I think would be fine and pretty interesting.
