I am struck by the number of creative cards in this set, very nice, but there are only so many original ideas that can be put into cards before it becomes near impossible to think of new ones, but I like how this set is a nice break from the recent sets which seemed to not have enough cards that do not feel fresh, new, and exciting, rather recycled and tweaked versions of mechanics we've already seen. Enjoy it while it lasts.
every spirit guide would cost 3 mana or else it would be stuck on top of deck. land grant cannot be cast from top of library with alternate cost.
i think this card is more likely to be some kind of value card. it likely won't get used effectively in any kind of combo deck, but could be great for something like burn or something more midrangey.
would love to see this card if you're flooded with lands in burn. if it resolves you untap and you're likely to cast several spells. i think you can even cast fireblast from the top of library, so that's cool.
not sure what matchups burn struggles against besides combo, but it could be okay.
mono red chalice decks could also run it as a singleton since it can help "draw" several cards per turn. (again simian spirit guide is kind of lousy here. does exiling it from your hand for mana count as "playing it"? for when you draw it the following turn)

It's a shitty Johnny card that costs way too much, asks too much, and does too little. It's one of those cards that excites you for all of a minute before you realize it will never be good , not even in casual EDH, because it has been intentionally gimped. It's purpose isn't to be good or see widespread play, but to tickle the brains of the playerbase, especially the more casual, trusting ones.
I predict Experimental Frenzy annoys more people than any other card in recent memory. Carefully setting up your top x cards with Scroll Rack is going to be annoying for opponents to watch turn after turn.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
Recross the Path with no lands
Proteus Staff with no creatures
Well it does say reveal from your hand...

Ah sweet, so it just says reveal your hand, not reveal it. That's pretty cool. So just the spirit guides and burning wish is awful with the Enchantment.

Thats an improvement then. Any innovation is welcome :)

The surveil cards that they've spoiled so far aren't good enough for it, but you could try Experimental Frenzy + Enhanced Surveilance
There might also be a scry pile with cards like
Artificer's Assistant/Contraband Kingpin
and
Mystic Speculation/Reason//Believe/Serum Visions
Yeah, this seems like a card that can create tedious play patterns.I predict Experimental Frenzy annoys more people than any other card in recent memory. Carefully setting up your top x cards with Scroll Rack is going to be annoying for opponents to watch turn after turn.
If you want to get really annoying, there's probably some way to do it with Library of Leng and looting stuff like Burning Inquiry and Breakthrough.
I don't know why we're trying to break this card when Hazorets undying fury is already out there
I might be missing a card or two but I think these have been the cards discussed as potentially Legacy playable at some point, with the questionable ones towards the end.
Just saw this one:
Selective Snare
Sorcery
XU
Return X target creatures of the type of your choice to their owners hands.
Seems pretty strong vs. creature decks. It's always a bad unsummon for 1U, but bouncing two or three specific dudes for 3 or 4 mana seems playable, if niche.
Probably not too playable other than #goesinnicfit but it is an extreme upgrade over Fleshbag Marauder and others, if there was ever a niche slot where this effect was needed.
