Being an instant means it’s already better than Ugin’s Insight most of the time. However, Graven Lore is better than both Ugin’s Insight and Precognitive Perception. Being able to set up your next seven draws was pretty silly, which is why many Esper decks played at least one copy. Since those decks played planeswalkers that ranged from 4 to 6 mana and the Sphinx of the Final Word which is 7 mana, you were often digging pretty deep with your Scry. It allowed you to Scry X, where X is the highest converted mana cost among permanents you control. That was a five-mana Sorcery that saw some play in competitive Esper Control decks. In many ways, Graven Lore is more like Ugin’s Insight from Battle for Zendikar.
This allows you to set up your draws, giving you much better card selection for the situation at hand.īut, Graven Lore is somewhat better than Precognitive Perception, since you Scry for each Snow mana spent to cast it. Scry lets you look at the top X cards of your deck, and you can choose to put any number of them to the bottom of your library or back to the top in any order. That card drew you three cards for five mana, but allowed you to also Scry 3 if you played it during your main phase. This card is reminiscent of Precognitive Perception from Ravnica Allegiance. It’s similar to a few draw cards that we’ve seen in the past that have popped up in competitive play.
Graven Lore is a Snow instant spell card from Magic the Gathering’s Kaldheim set.
