• Legendary Synergy: Particularly good in decks that are based around legendary creatures or have a high count of legendary creatures.

Interactions and Combos:

• Legendary Creatures: The More Legendary Creatures You Control, The Cheaper The Activation Cost Becomes. Cards Like "Captain Sisay" or "Kethis, The Hidden Hand" would be natural partners.

• Cost Reduction: Combos well with other cards that can reduce the cost of activated abilities, such as "heartstone."

Flavor and Lore:
The Mirror of Galadriel is a powerful artifact in Tolkien's World That Allows Glimpses Into Possible Futures. Its in-game abilities to scry and draw cards are reflective of this insight.

Overall Impression:
Mirror of Galadriel Provides Card Advantage and Selection But is best suited for decks with a higher concentration of legendary creatures to mitigate its activation cost. Just without those, it can serve as a powerful tool for generating card advantage in the late game.
