Mishra's Bauble is an old 'freetrip' artifact:
People generally don't like the 'delayed cantrip' mechanic, but while discussing the new mulligan mechanics, it occurred to me that combining the bauble and fetchlands could give a "free" scry-like effect if you activate the bauble targeting yourself, and then activate a fetchland if you don't like the top card of your deck.0

Tap, Sacrifice Mishra's Bauble: Look at the top card of target player's library. Draw a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep.
Naturally, the cantrip-delay means the bauble isn't great as a top-deck later in the game, but it's also not completely terrible since it does replace itself.
The bauble also has a bunch of smaller synergies as a token artifact, graveyard filler, or generic draw effect.
That makes me think it could work quite well to help stabilize the draws of a deck like burn which plays fetchlands, has limited card quality tools available, and doesn't try to combo by cycling through draw effects in a single turn.
Is this a technique that people have experimented with and discarded or is it a bad idea for some obvious reason that I've missed?
