The Warning is a nice late-game card, to protect from Damnation and help thin the deck.

The second could be very effective at hand arranging, although that 4 cc might be disappoiting to blue mages.

The white one is very nice, allowing you to suspend creatures at your opp's EOT..

And the blue one... I really love this one. It essentialy says, fix the draws for your next three turns, while looking at the top 3-6 cards of your library.

I don't like that card being white. I think it should go into green. I see how it could be white, but green is generally more natural at doing stuff for its creatures.

Annelid is cool, nice use of scry.

On the Warning, if you don't actually play a creature spell, you just suspend it, can you suspend multiple creatures? I guess whatever applies for Quicken applies here.

Also, EOT Magus of the Disk is nice.

So now we have a white Quicken for creatures huh? The annelid is one of the coolest cards I've seen so far. This is quickly becoming my favorite magic set.

First one kind of seems like Quicken, which ws hyped up to be good, but wasn't because it didn't really do anything.

Second one seems bad, playable in limited at least.

Crptic? or Cryptic? Either way that's a heck of a lot of card selection.

I have to admit I don't really understand how the Annelid works...

You look at the first card of your library, then rearrange it, then do the same with scry 2, then with scry 3. You can dig up to 6 cards to find what you need.

Scout's Warning is a nice twist on cards like Accelerate and Quicken. It's a white instant Teferi without a body.

The Cryptic Annelid is nicely skill-testing! Good players will use it much more effectively than bad players.

It's simple. Scry X means "Look at the top X cards of your library. Put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest on top in any order."

So if there was reminder text fully written out, then the card would mean:

Look at the top card of your library. Put it on the bottom or top of your library. Then, look at the top 2 cards of your library. Put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest on top in any order. Look at the top 3 cards of your library. Put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest on top in any order.

Well, you can look at the top card of your deck, and put it on the bottom if you want, then repeat for the top two cards of your deck, then repeat for the top three cards of your deck. If you want, you can put up to six cards at the bottom of the deck. I think it's a pretty damn cool look on Scry.

You look at the top card of your library. If you dont like it, you put it on bottom of the library. Otherwisie put it back.

Then you look at the top 2 cards of your library. If you don't like any of them, put it on the bottom of the library. then put the remaining cards on top of your library in any order.

Repeat this process with 3 cards after this.

In other words:
"Do you like this card?"
If YES
"Do you STILL like this card?"
if YES
"You Really sure you like this card?"
