It's a Ptermander with better game against RUG (dodges Bolt & Wrenn, blocks turn 1 Delver, flies to kill Wrenn).
But it's awful against Swamp. Hymn to Tourach and friends stop you from blocking,...
You're Tin Fins going for the Plan C non-Grisel Tendrils kill because there's a Needle on Grisel and Abrupt Decays are for chumps not trying to turn 1 people, but you forgot that you need 4 Islands...
High Tide can fetch it during the combo turn just before casting a cantrip. Mystic has land type Island, which is very significant for the deck.
e.g. T4 Fetchland. Tap 1st Island. High Tide. Tap...
Yeah my guess is the most natural homes are monoblue decks that want to hit 4+ lands (High Tide) and Uxx control decks that still tilt towards blue duals over basics and expect to play many lands...
A 2-color deck can now run 8 fetches that each get either basic (e.g. 4 Flooded Strand + 4 Prismatic Vista for Island or Plains), which was not at all possible pre-Vista and allows consistent...

The comparison point is...
Could High Tide use some number of these in place of Cunning Wish? It allows you to consider noninstant wishboard silver bullets (e.g. Time Spiral). The newer iterations of High Tide go off at...

EOT Brainstorm drawing into good stuff, Bolt something for free, crack fetch. Who even needs a main phase.
It's much better alongside Sylvan Library, where you are guaranteed extra "draw"s every turn for 0 mana. Edit: Ninja'd by Barook.
Also works in slow URx decks (e.g. Grixis Pyromancer). Delver does...
