Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:

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

• Weaknesses:

  • It's a sorcery, so it can only be cast during 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.

• Elf 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 "Courser of Kruphix" or "Oracle of Mul Daya".

Elven Farsight is a low-cost utility card that offers excellent deck manipulation and the potential to replace itself by drawing a card. While it doesn'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.
