Surveil is good with Counterbalance, and that + Snapmage ability is sweet.
Dreadnought enabler?
This card looks fantastic for grindy match-ups. Copying cantrips and cheap removal for 2 mana (if the card is 1 CMC). If you run out of gas, she can still draw cards.
No, but it's cute vs things like ravenous trap. The card is mostly a bad Regrowth so odds are it won't see legacy play, but it's a fun design. At 1U people would probably experiment with it in and Increasing Vengeance modern storm.
Blue. People complain about Delve, and about DRS being splashed in U decks, well here is literally one of the only solutions. Even printing a card at UUU would make it very tough for a U deck to cast it. BBGG is definately not being splashed by anybody, but better safe than sorry.
Mission's Briefing looks schweet in like... Tide? Snapcaster might be better because of Snapcaster+Snap, and the ability to chump block, but the Surveil 2 is pretty nice. If Mission's Briefing cantripped it would be bonkers.
This has potential as a combo piece.
For example with Necrotic Ooze.3BB
Doom Whisperer
Flying, trample
Pay 2 life: Surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library. You may put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)
6/6
Meh, dies to Price of Fame.
Sort of interesting uncommon. 2 mana, 3 power, and can get back a wasteland or something?
Just because I'm curious:
If Lazav copies a Volrath's Shapeshifter which is on top of the graveyard, does it keep the X ability?
Does this work?
Lazav in play. Get Vector Asp and Phyrexian Dreadnaught into the grave. Pay 1 mana to turn Lazav into Asp. Pay B to use asp ability to grant infect. Pay 1 mana to turn into Dreadnaught. Does it keep infect?
Granted not the best combo, but just curious if it keeps the abilities between changes?
No, that wouldn't work.
The only reason the "related" combo in EDH works with Scion of the Ur-Dragon, is because you are giving it Infect last, while the abilities giving it a rise in power are already on the stack.

Oops, my bad, I didn't bother to look up Vector Asp and thought it was a different card (i.e. had Infect as a static ability).
Yeah, if you activate Lazav's ability with the "Asp" ability is on the stack, it will work.

When ~ enters the battlefield, choose one-
-Put two +1/+1 counters on ~.
-Destroy target artifact or enchantment.
-You gain 4 life.
Pretty good card. Already Reclamation Sage stats, but now you can get an additional beater or can sustain against Burn, UR Delver. Probably replaces Rec Sage in Aggro Loam, Maverick, and Aluren.

Aw man, couldn't they have printed this as "Human Knight" instead? Would have been such an awesome Recruiter of the Guard target in D&T (with Cavern of Souls).
