I feel that this card paves the way for a possible 5c god deck in standard come JOU. With Chromatic Lantern its a real possibility. Considering how the gods are pretty much undercosted indestructable creatures.

In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
Aye, that said I can't think of anywhere else it will see much use.
Several EDH decks might be able to use it, at least those with a lot of legendary types. I mean, Ghave just got Heliod, God of the Sun as a way to exploit Serra's Sanctum, and also can find a whole bunch of Ravnica legends. And the praetors, the two Junk recursion generals, Rhys the Redeemed(!)...
The real problem with Oloro or Ghave, though, is that so many black tutors are better. But they aren't a one-sided Coat of Arms for legends.
So yeah, there are quite a few things you can do with it.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Just what i was going to say

Animar and Mayael can find Ruric Thar, the Unbowed with it. Oloro can find Erebos, God of the Dead. Kaalia has a new way to fetch Iona, Shield of Emeria or Aurelia, the Warleader, though...it's way too slow for Kaalia. And like with all black examples, you have better options for the tutoring. The good news is, this tutor is repeatable.
The real problem with Oloro or Ghave, though, is that so many black tutors are better. But they aren't a one-sided Coat of Arms for legends.
