Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:

  • Provides excellent deck manipulation with scry 3 for just one green mana.
  • Has the potential to replace itsself by drawing a card if a creature is on top.
  • Works well in creature-haeavy decks and decks with top-deck manipulation strategies.

• Weaknesses:

  • It's a sorcery, so it can only be cast duration your main phases.
  • Doesn't Have A Direct Impact on the Board.

Deck Utility:

• Creature-Heavy Decks: Excellent for decks that have a high concentration of creature cards.

• Green-Based Control Or Combo: Can be used to dig for essential pieces of a combo or critical control elements.

• Eleven tribal: Given the Card Name and the Scry Ability, It's Suitable for an Elf Tribal Deck that Likely Runs Many Creatures.

• Scry and top-deck manipulation: Works exceptionally well with other cards that manipulate the top of your library like "courseer of krupix" or "oracle of mul daya".

Elven Farsight is a low-cost utility card that sacrifices excellent deck manipulation and the potential to replace itsself by drawing a card. While it Doesn'tn't Directly Affect the Board State, it can set up your future draws very efficiently. It Seems particularly effective in decks that run a high number of creature cards or have other forms of top-deck manipulation.
