Is that a Living Wall she's running from, haha? Great reprint!

Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
Sad they removed the original flavor text, it was so good. Atleast the art is good and isn't ten times worse than the original, which usually happens with such reprints.
Wow! Sylvan Library, Sneak Attack AND Gamble?! I've been wanting these cards for my EDH decks for sooo long! I was hoping this set would be a godsend for EDH players and it looks like it's going to be.
I think this card may be a little undercosted. It's a tutor for one mana. Yeah you may discard the new card, but the risk is well worth it.
It's good in EDH, as Red has a shortage of good tutors. You can mitigate the drawback if your general is something like Daretti, Scrap Savant or Feldon of the Third Path. Unfortunately, Red's recursion is also very limited, so for many other generals it isn't as powerful.
The orb that is chasing the person in the art is chaos orb. These arts are filled to the brim with flavor.
Haha, wow! It is! She stole one if it's eyes.
I'm pretty sure that thing is not a Chaos Orb. Both are made to simulate faces, but that's where it ends. The thing in the Gamble art looks kind of kabuki-ish.

I would say it's 100% Chaos Orb. Not only because it looks just like it, but also because referencing other cards in art seems to be a theme with this set. The new Goblin Charbelcher has a Black Lotus and a freakin' Storm Crow in the art. The new Enlightened Tutor has the Idyllic Tutor bird on the cover of the book featured in the art. It's really awesome.

In Legacy, this is primarily good in Lands.dec, which largely can play out of its graveyard with Life from the Loam, Academy Ruins, Punishing Fire + Grove of the Burnwillows, etc.
