Sage just seems like it doesn't offer any card advantage. Looking at your top 4 and rearranging them is powerful but it could easily take a backseat to this guy. Gurmag Drowner just seems too good to cut for the Foul Emmisary. Looking at your top 4 is powerful turn 1 or 2 so you can fetch away any bad starts but past those turns it does little in the game but show you if you have the "green light" to go off or not on later turns. Foul Emissary after Animar having 1 or 2 counters seems like a good card to add a creature to hand when you need some more gas. If I cast Foul Emissary for example and I miss all creatures I'd probably be ok losing whatever I pitch to the bottom. At worst knowing I will get an untap with a potential for gas seems good to me.
Is this just better than Sage of Epityr? I never liked turn 1 Sage for some reason. I like this card because if played on curve you can filter out some trash and get yourself some value when clamped. Of course Sage is better turn 1 but like I said I dont like casting Sage on turn 1 anyway.
