Welcome to Gaia! ::

it's a good card.
for GU get out a 1/1 that has you reveal the top card of your deck, if it's a land it's put into play, if it's not a land it's added to your hand.

not much of a downside there, especially in a good Simic deck where speed is real important.
sheerly looking at power and toughness it's a little short, but it's ability makes up for that completely and then some.

but, how do you break something as simple as the Coling Oracle?

(Bonus question, try not to think too hard, but it's a Snake, Elf, Druid, what kind of terrible er, spur of the moment thought would create such a abomination?
there are no Orochi in Ravinca....)

it's a 1/1 for 2, not exactly beatstick material....
Yes i know, i'm just, busy examining him at his core to determine how to turn powerful into broken.
and what better what to make peoples faces turn then a 1/1 with a comes into play effect that doesn't hurt my opponent directly?

And how doe the already widely popular knowledge of the Watchwolf being a good turn two drop help me learn to break the Coiling Oracle?
theres more then power/toughness, ability, and cost in a card.

sounds interesting.
I Wonder if Bouncing it constantly every turn with Momir Vig in play would work out in a entirely purely positive way.
uh, play Momir. play Oracle, pick a creature, put on top of deck, reveal, add to hand, revela top card of deck, land into play, otherwise into hand.
that would be a total of +3 cards each turn....
good, but then it's bouncing the Oracle.

I think i got it.
Mark of Eviction on Coiling Oracle.
Play the Oracle, reveal the top card of the deck (as per it's effect, shuffle around a bit since either the land comes into play or the card is added to your hand.)
Play mark of Eviction on Coiling Oracle, during your next upkeep the oracle and mark of Eviction are added back to your hand, so you can play them again.
It's better if you can get soem of these into play
Circu, Dimir Lobotomist
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary

that way i get to draw a card, then by paying UUG
remove the top two cards of my opponents library (1 for Mark of Eviction, and 1 for Coiling Oracle) and all copies of those cards cannot be played.
then, I get to search my deck for a creature card, and put it ontop of my deck, reveal the top card of my deck, and if it's a creature, it's added to my hand.
Finally, I get to reveal the top card of my deck, if it's a land, it's brought intp play, otherwise it's added to my hand.
every turn, for UUG

too much setup though..... and it takes three colors.

Hmm, definitely great in cube, maybe soul foundry for continually making oracles?

Played right, he is VERY nice along with woodelves if you play the neew Green Grandeur feller. ^^
