Review of Elvish Visionary **

Has Certain Special Uses
I like this card for my Momir Vig deck.  Momir Vig isn’t that great of a commander in my opinion.  Momir Vig enables for one to search for a card if he or she plays a green creature, and take a creature card to their hand if a blue creature is played.  Elvish Visionary capitalizes on Momir Vig.  The green ability of Momir enables the search ability.  However, that ability usually isn’t much help as it telegraphs to your opponent what is coming next, so he can plot his strategy accordingly.  The green ability of Momir Vig means that one is not able to take the card to their hand by itself on that turn, usually, but Elvish Visionary throws in a curve by enabling you to take the card that you have just searched for to your hand.  And, since Elvish Visionary doesn’t cost a whole lot of mana, you might even be able to play that card that you searched for on the same turn, especially since a Momir Vig deck works well with elves.  Suddenly, Momir’s mediocre ability becomes actually quite cool with a card like Elvish Visionary.
