Colorless smoothing has always been the compromise card: any deck can run it, so the effect has to be modest enough that no deck is rewarded for reaching outside its colors. This one buys a body and a two-card look for a fixed generic cost, which means it slots into a mono-color aggro curve and a five-color artifact pile with equal indifference. Scry 2 on a creature that can actually attack is the trade being made here: you are not paying a card for the selection, you are stapling it to a 3/2 that has to earn its keep in combat afterward. That toughness is where the honesty lives; the body dies to most of what it runs into, so the card is priced as a one-shot dig with a fragile creature attached rather than a durable threat. It belongs to a long line of colorless enters-the-battlefield value creatures whose whole appeal is that they ask nothing of your manabase and give back a little inevitability: a filtered draw step now, a swing or a block later. Nothing about the design pushes an archetype. A deck short on playables reaches for exactly this: one more piece that never feels actively wrong, filling a curve slot without asking anything in return. Fine, replaceable, colorless. That is the job it was built to do, and it does no more than that.
