Surveil is good with Counterbalance, and that + Snapmage ability is sweet.

Not to snipe from Ben, but in case that image link never comes back, here it is sourced from Wizard's themselves.
When is this better than Snapcaster Mage? Casting it without a target in mind seems bonkers, so the surveil isn't a big upside.
Another thing to note - it doesnt target (you choose on resolution), so unless your opponent completely nuked your graveyard, you'll get to cast something.

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.

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.

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
For example with Necrotic Ooze.

seems pretty cool if you could ever pair it with gitrog monster. (unlikely outside of EDH)

When they make it red, like snapcaster should have been all along. ./angry

Sort of interesting uncommon. 2 mana, 3 power, and can get back a wasteland or something?

Adds a ton of redundancy to high tide and omnitell. With dream halls out this card is insane.
In vintage it's even more insane making gifts ungiven piles and yawg Will's bananas, as well as gush.
Re: [GRN] Guilds of Ravnica & [RNA] Ravnica Allegiance
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?

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.

It seems like it should work. Copy effects on layer 1, ability-adding effects on layer 6.

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.

Knight of Autumn 1GW
Creature - Dryad Knight
2/1
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.

Definitely a quality upgrade to Sage, so long as you aren't an Elves deck. Funny you mention Burn, but if you GSZ for this, you both don't get hit by an Eidolon trigger and you can blow up Eidolon. Very solid utility creature that isn't dead if you happen maindeck it.
Re: [GRN] Guilds of Ravnica & [RNA] Ravnica Allegiance
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).
