That's right, for an additional W your Glimpse of Nature is now also an instant, cares about enchantments, AND can be cast out of your graveyard for just 2 extra mana. How's that for power creep?
certainly the best aspect of this card is that this doesn't count spells like Glimpse of Nature, it counts creatures entering the battlefield, so it counts tokens, blinks, etc.
in a vacuum the card isn't good, but it can be a combo piece.... and as all combo pieces, all it needs is that such combo is fast and reliable so it can see play.

It doesn't even need to be a combo piece, it just needs the right shell around it to do a lot of work.
Huh, Beck // Call never really got off the ground, so this card might be similarly screwed. I swear it's all the colour splash's fault....
Agreed. A two-color card that "cantrips" only when you play a spell afterwards feels weak. The difference between this and Glimpse is pretty significant, even if it triggers on tokens ETB.

Anyway, this triggering on etb and not casting creature/enchantment spells makes it very interesting for token strategies.

In standard, Ranger Class and Battle for Bretagard come to mind.

StaffCould be fun with Scute Swarm. Play this, then any tutor two lands spell, plus play a land.
Oh! Omen of the Sun triggers this three times at instant speed. Edit: oh, but that's rotating.
