Run it on Pantopic Mirror Turn 5. Basically, at the end of opponent's turn pay {0}and tap the Mirror, then draw 3 during your upkeep, etc etc.

Of course Ancestral Recall is better. You can't argue with that. But this is waaay cheaper and turn one it's amazing. However, blue decks will inevitably draw it when it's bad...however bad isn't that bad because a blue deck will likely have time walk to shave off a turn, and cards like cryptic command really have a knack of stealing turns too, because of the tap-all-of-your-opponent's-creatures ability. using this with paradox haze is okay...but it will only shave off a turn, and it's probably only useful with other suspend stuff (aeon chronicler!). so...it has its drawbacks but theyre minimized because of what you can combo it with.

A very solid card... If you get it first turn I would prefer it to the recall, because you can suspend it first turn then later use your mana for other things, and by the time it pops you have room in your hand and that one extra mana to use what you got, which can reeally make a difference, not as versatile as the recall.

A lil slow, but if youre in stalemate, this and underworld dreams as well as mistful thinking or any hand limiting cards work out well.

When you're playing type 1, 3 extra turns results in gg from your opponent

ANCESTRAL VISION only has a one card difference between it and ANCESTRAL RECALL (It`s a sorcery).A difference of one card before Is not really such a big deal.Do you think that is worth 894 dollars?

this is a strange card! very poverfull at 1st turn, not so good after some turn(but you can discard it using force of will ;))

This card is freakin' amazing! Sure, it's not as good as ancestral recall, but it costs at least 880$ less. Plus, it's blue, so you can easily combine it with paradox haze(s) or clockspinning(s). Go drawing 3 cards on your fifth turn!
