Ahh yes. The overreaction to card spoilers. It happens every season, like clockwork.
Remember when people were talking about Temporal Mastery being banned? It's happening all over again.
Here's the thing, glimpse was banned before it could even be a deck. While this probably won't get banned, it's certainly makes elf combo a very strong deck. If not for the fact that the current modern meta is so removal heavy, this would easily be a tier 1 deck. Even as it stands now though, this may well make it's way to the 1.5 tier. They won't ban this card either, if the deck became too degenerate, they will just ban heritage druid.
It can goldfish out on t3 like 1/3 the time and on t4 like 1/2 the time. It's very fast and this just makes it consistent. We'll see.
Whoever says Affintiy can't make UG in modern on Turn one hasn't played the deck... I've made 1WW with Affnity on turn 1 with 0 drop creatures still in my hand... Don't underestimate the power of affinity... I think i'm going to adopt this as a 4 of to replace thoughtcast for me.

If i cast Inquisition of Kozilek and see Beck//Call, can i take it?
Yes you can, the converted mana cost of split cards gets tricky but when it comes down to it the card is both cmc 2 and cmc 6, so you can get it with inquisition of kozilek

We don't know this, and this is a speculative answer. It is also feasible that its CMC is simultaneously 2 and 6. Until the CR comes out, this is unknown.
While it is true that the cost to cast the fused spell is 4GWUU, that does not mean with certainty that it will be considered to have CMC 8.
While it is plausible to believe this, unless you have the CR definition of Fuse (and I don't), it is an unproven statement.

Matt Tabak (rules manager) actually confirmed this in a tweet yesterday. Don't have it handy right now, and tweets can be wrong, but it's most likely correct.

If I cast both spells on the card, can you snare it?
That there is a good question... I imagine it would be addressed somewhere in the rules for the existing split cards.

No. The CMC of a fused Beck//Call is 8.
Standard: W/R Aggro
Sheldon has said he doesn't consider Deadeye a problem, probably because Sheldon rarely considers combo to be a problem.
