    Since it's repeatable you can pick out the major threats from decks that only run a few different ones.
    Murktide -> Delver -> DRC
    This punishes everything that doesn't have diverse threats.
    Stompy decks being to able to get it online as early as T2 is also huge.

    Edit: Nevermind, it exiles itself as part of the cost. So you would need Karn for looping it. Still nice in multiples, though.

    As for recursion, Emry should be able to do a good job as well.
    NVM, I'm stupid and missed that it exiles itself.....

    After seeing the interaction between Power Conduit and The Restoration of Eiganjo/Urza's Saga in a new Modern deck today, I wonder if this new card allows the deck to reach critical mass. Aside from redunancy, the Plains fetching also allows to feed stage 2 of Restoration for more recursion. Keeping Saga around while being able to search for an artifact every turn is definitely nice. So the ideal sequence would be.

    T1: Saga
    T2: Scholar
    T3: third Saga trigger, remove counter in response, grab Plains, grab artifact from Saga, play your Plains, create token with Saga
    Rinse and repeat every turn while keep hitting your land drops.

    For what it's worth, it can also eat (excess) Vial counters to turn them into Plains.

    It exiles itself, so your Karn Deck is going to be the one that recurs it. But also your Karn Deck should stop playing with its food and cast the lattice already

    Sure, but those suck and cost life. This one actually generates CA while doing its thing.

    Soul Diviner has also been around for a while and gives cards instead of Plains, but the new card starts with a counter.

    Soul Diviner was explicitly worded to not work with Sagas though, while this new card does - not sure if it was intentional or they messed up.

    Being able to work with itself is huge, plus the casting cost is way easier.

    Another potential line could be on T3:

    Recruiter for Scholar, Vial it in @2, the proceed to feed it Vial counters starting at T4 (or T5 while using its own counter on T4 if you want to keep your Vial @3)

    How good this is needs to be seen in playtesting since it does nothing on its own the turn it ETBs, but since the deck is already running Vials and Sagas anyway, it might have potential in Yorion D&T where you can actually use the mana. Besides, you can also run Currency Converter as a Saga target to turn the Plains into actual cards if you want to grind some more.

    New card:


    White Rec Sage that's Karakas bouncable and has a fancy combo with Spirit of the Labyrinth. What's not to love?

    Contrasted with Rest in Peace, at least this doesn't get hit by Force of Vigor?


    A little utility compared to Meltdown, but higher cost:

    One way to stop yourself from getting Wastelanded:


    Also could be funny to fetch a Cloudpost with a Prismatic Vista.

    It also turns off all Blood Moon effects. Useful when there are multiple ones one the field. Price of Progress also does nothing to you with it on the field.

    Neat effect, but pretty darn expensive at 4 mana.

    I totally thought Urza’s Saga was an artifact while I was typing that.

    That's ok, diviner can pull off lands.
    But being UB means you can't curve into it with Urza's Saga.

    If it sees play, then I imagine that it's going into a deck with lots of rampy stuff.

    I wonder if there's any dumb combo with Scouting Trek. And by that I mean something cheaper than Cultivator Colossus.

    Edit: There's Treasure Hunt, I guess.

    I remember watching a brew that used scouting trek + Clear the land to ramp like 10 years ago.

    You have a point there - it's not an artifact, but it's a land and Soul Diviner does work with those.
