This seems amazing. It's potentially even Legacy or Vintage playable.
I want one for my Merieke Ri Berit EDH deck and possibly for others. In Merieke, it fetches Dramatic Reversal for combing out, Pact of Negation or other counters for protection, Cyclonic Rift to reset opposing boards, and Demonic Tutor if I need to find something else.
Living the dream in Battlebond 2HG where you use this to get Diabolic Intent then Intent this to get your super-bomb. Really nice card, while be shenans with DEN as always.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I can see this being played a ton in Vintage and being restricted at some poimt. Here are some cards it gets:
Ancestral Recall
Time Walk
Demonic Tutor
Vampiric Tutor
Imperial Seal
Mana Drain
Enlightened Tutor
Balance
Hurkyll’s Recall
Channel
Flash
I think it’ll get restricted at some point. Yes, it’s 3 mana and sorcery speed but being able to tutor for so many incredibly important pieces can be scary, especially with all the fast mana in Vintage.
I could use this a little bit for Brago, although not sure what I can take out. The ability to make sure I have a counterspell or removal for several turns is very tempting.
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!
This is an EDH staple. Might be the most automatic include in years.
Probably a break out Vintage card. I could easily see decks being built around 4 of them. It makes playing fewer versions of Swords to Plowshares viable. Of course it's always getting the Ancestral Recall first, the second one gets the Mental Mistep to protect against the opponents Mental Mistep...
Legacy as well, damn, this card is going to be $$$. Get as many copies as your grubby little hands can get.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

I actually think it’s far less scary in Legacy.
Outside of that this card is pretty bonkers.
Or get Dizzy Spell to get Training Grounds!
And...we're mostly considering blue stuff right now. Nature's Claim, Boros Charm, Comet Storm, Crop Rotation...
(U/B)(U/B)(U/B) JUMP IN THE LINE, ROCK YOUR BODY IN TIME
(R/W)(R/W)(R/W) RISING FROM THE NEON GLOOM, SHINING LIKE A CRAZY MOON
(U/R)(R/G)(G/U) STEALIN' WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUYIN'
She'll probably be restricted.
Just in limited, I can see her being used to grab Swords to Plowshares a lot.
On phasing:

...Not to mention her grabbing Brainstorm by default in Legacy.
I suppose some humorist will make her grab Glimpse of Nature.

This card feels like an "every format this thing is legal in" staple, TBH. Bomb card is the bomb.
