I like the idea of running this card along with Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Nissa, Steward of Elements from a design perspective. Since This and Nissa and go well into big ramp decks, and this can also play well with Edrice as a way to draw cards. I think it gives Simic a little bit more of a direction. What I an not so sure about is if it is too slow of a rate to be worth running.
