Soldevi Excavations - 0
Land
If Soldevi Excavations would enter the battlefield, sacrifice an untapped Island instead. If you do, put Soldevi Excavations onto the battlefield. If you don't, put it into its owner's graveyard.
{T}: Add {1}{U} to your mana pool.
{1}, {T}: Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.
Initial thoughts:
I bought this card in singles before. So I'm somewhat biased about it. Maybe the only thing I have a problem with is sacrificing an untapped land. It's obviously because it taps for {1}{U}, but the true power of this card is the scrying.
I pretty much love cards that can cause amazing plays during end turn steps or upkeeps. This allows that to happen. Allows 1 sift every turn for 3 mana, might seem somewhat expensive, but I think it's worth it considering that it's instant speed, and allows you to do something with your mana at the end of turns.
Obviously a lot more powerful in control decks, but I don't really see this being played in other decks. In EDH I could predict this card is amazing, because its very slow-paced format. It can become surprisingly strong. I haven't tested it but I think I may get another copy for it, but I'm still using this in my Archenemy deck. 4/5
