This card is basically a double Demonic Tutor in Vintage. This card is amazing. Tutoring+Card Advantage will usually mean GG for your opponent.

Tony above mentioned this is a double demonic tutor, to clarify more, it is 1U for 2x demonic tutor(which is restricted) and 2 for a double entomb, 4x restricted cards all crammed into one insanely reasonable casting cost, can we say BROKEN?

This is one of the most interesting magic cards ever. While Fact or Fiction gives more raw power to more decks in Extended these days, Gifts is actually the more powerful card, but it requires building and playing around it much much more. Basically, Gifts presents two challenges to play around: you don't choose which two cards you get to put in your hand, and you can't have any duplicates in your selection of four cards. This means that either you can build some rather wonky four-card combination suites to tutor for (ex: Crucible of Worlds,Petrified Field, Academy Ruins, and X-Game-Winning-Artifact-Card) or else you can use it with Good-Stuff type decks. To explain what I mean here, it doesn't really matter what win condition or mass removal spell or whatever you get to draw with Gifts if you search for four cards which basically fulfill the same function in your deck. Personally, I'm curious as to what 4 card combinations there are in Extended these days which recur with one another in a similar way to the Academy Ruins combo above. It doesn't seem like Reanimator is that viable these days, but Gifts would definitely work well there. Besides that, this card would work well with Life From the Loam, maybe with Cunning/ Burning Wish, Eternal Witness, and probably many more. THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS GIFTS IS SUCH A COMPLEX CARD, IT DEMANDS A LOT OF CONSIDERATION.
