Jeez, you'd think a card named Scour All Possibilities would be something like Scry 60, then draw 7 cards. I mean, it's good, but a little overdramatic there.
I think it only hits sorceries because hitting a duplicate spell might be too strong
Oh wow, I think you're right. At first I thought you meant a duplicate (noun) spell, like just another Collective Conjuring, rather than a duplicate (verb) spell, like Twincast. Of course, that means your original Collective Conjuring only gets one "real" hit, but if you can keep chaining, that is pretty degenerate.
Wait, what? It's harder to cast, it's a sorcery itself, and it only gets sorceries? I'm usually annoyed whenever people are like, "this should cost 1 less and be a sliver and also cantrip" but I really don't think this would have been unfair being an instant and also finding instants. Very disappointing. Many instants are reactive anyway, so they wouldn't even be good if you could play them.
Wow, I feel like this was one of the most anticipated potential reprints. I wasn't sure they'd actually do it. What deck actually wants this, though? Cryptic Command is probably better most of the time.
Is that an improved Astral Slide that has cycling itself? Because the original doesn't. (Astral Drift, maybe?) This one even seems to trigger on its own cycling ability!
EDIT: Looks like that's a Kaladesh racecar in the art, too, and it's called Astral Drift...
There are literally no cards that I'm excited to play in this deck from War of the Spark.
Unfortunately, this was mostly my reaction. There are a few things that are worth trying, but it's pretty disappointing that the planeswalker set has nothing big to offer us.
Nissa, Who Shakes the World: We're playing mostly forests, so her static ability is pretty strong. But if we're at 5 mana, we don't really care about having much more, and her other abilities don't have much synergy with the rest of the deck.
Karn, the Great Creator: Okay, hear me out on this one. Yes, he has almost no interaction with our deck. But, we are playing Stony Silence in the board, so maybe it's worth playing one Karn over one Stony just so we can find him with Oath of Nissa. (That's generally a big downside of the sideboard is that it's all enchantments, which make Oath of Nissa worse.) And then we include one Mycosynth Lattice in the sideboard, so that Karn basically becomes and alternate win condition. Might be too crazy, but I'll probably test it.
Karn's Bastion: Wow, now this is interesting. Unfortunately, it has to contend with Gavony Township, which is really good. It definitely allows you to put additional pressure on your opponent, but if you're sitting around proliferating onto your 3 planeswalkers every turn, you're already winning, whereas Township can actually save your life.
Interplanar Beacon: Maybe worth playing as a 1-of. This card has a pretty small opportunity cost. Yes, it's totally redundant with Oath of Nissa, but it might be a good way to get an advantage against burn.
Mobilized District: Again, has to contend with Gavony Township, and again, it gets better the more you're already winning. Shame it doesn't count legendary enchantments...
Planewide Celebration: 7 mana is probably too much, but proliferating 4 times all but guarantees an ultimate. And Doubling Season gives you 8 Citizens. This actually might be the most interesting card from the set.
Maybe there's a black version of this deck that runs Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God and Oath of Liliana and/or Oath of Kaya and The Elderspell. Can this deck support all 5 colors if we move it in a different direction? Can it support 4 colors with black being a main color if we take it in a totally new direction?
Sort of a budget Monastery Mentor? Definitely a powerful static ability, and I could see her in some kind of weird Affinity-ish build (with Opals and Baubles) but without being able to reuse ETB effects, she's definitely not overpowered.
It's interesting, but is it better than The Immortal Sun? It's at least a good budget option. Seems absurd if you can cast it turn 3, but otherwise it's kind of a bad Lodestone Golem.

Also, the type line says Angel, but it looks like some kinda weird bird thing.
