So... Kicker, entwine, since it's an additional cost do you still have the option? If so this is yet another chance for G/U/x EDH to get silly wins with tooth and nail
Yeah, this does have the Elvish Piper problem, i.e. it probably looks significantly more busted than it actually plays. Still, if you set her up properly, she just outright wins you the game. This will definitely be a commander staple
The art looks like an action shot out of a movie or anime. I don't hate it.
I think Legendary would have helped it be able to be abused more... especially in Standard. Pair this with jodah, archmage eternal and use apex and invert//invent and you have 8 ways to abuse Apex of power and essentially 8 copies. We don't need both abusers to be able to be found with board the weatherlight.... that would have been stupid. Add Niv-Mizzet, Parun and we can start to have SO much fun.

MTG Junky... First packs being a starter of each 4th Edition and Ice Age. Good Grief, I've been playing since 1995? Where does the time go!

this is mtgs, where occam's razor is so blunt it can't cut jello any more.
Does she really lift the sorcery-speed restriction? I assumed not.
I would assume that you are correct, and that timing restrictions still apply to sorceries you cast. I guess we'll have to wait for the official ruling on this.
Okay, this one isn't too bad, it has to survive a whole turn (without help), so it won't wreck multiplayer too much.

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!

If timing restrictions still applied then you wouldn't be able to cast sorceries at any time with it because you're casting the spell during the resolution of an ability.
The Omnispell Adept's ability works much like Aetherworks Marvel and Brain in a Jar--you are allowed to cast a sorcery at instant speed as long as the ability resolves. Wait until turn 6 to cast it, bait your opponent's removal spell, then Dive Down. After that untap, upkeep, and let the fun begin.
The spells aren't being cast at instant speed. The act of casting them is performed as the ability resolves. It's why Teferi forms a lockdown with Knowledge Pool. The spell is cast and put onto the stack as the ability resolves, not after it resolves.

No need to wait till turn 6, there are plenty of ways to get to 6 mana before then in standard like llanowar elves, mana rocks and treasure tokens.
Better grab her before she reaches $10+ a pop after release. You can cast any sorcery using her ability, there are many potentially game winning sorceries even in standard, or even lock down cards maybe.

Just from the flavor text I feel obliged to put this into my Isperia deck (it's literally a perfect fit considering the deck's flavor quote). I do run Approach in the deck (it's about alt win-cons), so I guess I could justify it mechanically somewhat as well, although not the entire deck being about spellslinging does put a damper on it.

She allows you cast the spells without paying their mana cost, which is just the bit in the top right of the card. Kicker and entwine are additional costs. So you can still choose to pay them to get that added bonus.
I guess in limited it's not as bad. But we all know that's not her true home... EDH is where the slingfest is.

Might as well put in a singleton Seismic Assault for something to do when your library is also your hand.

She knows all the arcane texts from the Ismeri Library by the time she was sixteen and now she quizzes Sphinxes in her spare time!
What sort of power will she weld when she is an Archmage!?!
Remember when Stoneforge Mystic was an icon without a name? I feel like we need to know more about this character overtime.

It somehow feels like reading bad fanfiction.
