-Look at the top five cards of your library. Exile one of them face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. You may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost if it's an instant spell with mana value 2 or less. If you don't, put that card into your hand.
For when the blue player would like one last super desperate "please let there be a Counterspell in my top 5 cards so I don't lose the game" card in their deck. Snark aside, this is close to being "Scry 5, draw a card" with some nonsignificant upside at instant speed for 3 mana.
Is this maybe actually kinda good? Like, if you have enough 1-2 mana instants already in your deck to where you're getting to freecast what you find a reasonable amount of the time, the fact that this card has the fail case of drawing you the best card out of your top 5 might actually make it worth trying out in some decks.
If you can reduce its cost, this can actually make some extra mana with rituals, and double storm, and finds some Brain Freeze or similar.
Might be something worth to consider in some storm decks, works kinda well with Baral, Chief of Compliance kind of shells.
Could even be a combo in itself with all the Fork, Increasing Vengeance, ReverberateTwincast effects at 2 mana (so you cast this, copy it, then ripple through more copy spells).
If you don't get the combo piece you want with this card but you do find an instant-speed dig spell, you can dig insanely far with this card (7 cards deep if you chain this into Opt/Consider, 8 cards deep chaining into Brainstorm, 10 cards deep chaining into Peer Through Depths). Now how to fit this in when you already want all the cheap dig spells....

it Basicly gives you a shot at counterspell something you don't like
Biased, but there should be a Dandân lurking somewhere down there too!
