Sensei's divining top...
spin ... spin ... spinnnnn .
I always noticed that people who used this seemed to win more often so I tried running it in a deck . Honestly I have to say that this is a card that helps any deck without fail for 5 reasons :
1. You can plan ahead with it . Just knowing your next card can let you know whether or not to do something that would otherwise screw you over .
2. Its friggin cheap . Only 1 mana allows this to come out fast and be used at the end of your opponents turn almost every time .
3.Library manipulation is practically just as good as card advantage . It lets you go through your deck and choose which card you get next . This combined with #2 lets you constantly push creatures/spells down if you need land and vice versa .
4.Saves you at the end . If you find a combo that can let you win the game which happens often at turn 5/6 in T2 you can tap it to switch . Bring a flyer with haste into play and might of the oaks it .... heh .
5. Its legal in T2 . Use it . If you look at the top tier decks you will notice that its in a lot of em .
....ya theres no point in this topic really I just wanted to rant about how great this top is and why you should use it . I place it in my top 10 favorite card list smile

Top IS a great card but doesn't go in everything.

Top is great, but it doesn't really fit if you want to be spending your mana on other things. Many aggressive builds just don't have it in their curve to allow a top.
The top also gets a HUGE boost from having shuffling effects to help it out, and it loses this most of the time if you don't run green for STE.

It's also nutoriously hard to get rid of. Unlike the Jitte. I've killed 4 of those in a game, and it saved my a**.

Kasmizar Do you know some artifact or other card which similar effect like Sensei's divining top? Other than Index Sage Owl. When it comes into play, you can look at the top four cards on your library and re-arrange them.

one of the biggst drawbacks to the top is that no matter how much mana you pay into it, you can only see your top card... so amybe a card like "tomarow, nasumi's fimalliar" should do the trick to make that even more annoying. (you can repeat its ablity inf times until your out of mana. lol

there are times when Top fails..........like if you hit a land pocket.........then your screwed
but it also doesn't fit in every deck like my Gruul Beats does not need it because it mainly top decks an answer anyways

I love the top, it pleases my senses, and yes it is hella hard to destroy! But getting rid of it actually isn't all that hard, I'm really into B/U decks recently, so yea, as noted above glimpses and other things to make your opponent discard the deck or just straight up remove it (dimir mechinations) blow it out of the water. I don't suggest using it against me.

Top's great, but really only has a place in control decks that would need an answer to ebery threat such as w/b/g control. Which also helps out the draws in you hit a land pocket.
Things like Gruul beats and Zoo don't need it because they should have the game OVER by the time a Top would really matter.
