I think this card is starting to see an uptick in play. Give it a shot! Don't Be Cruel, Be Heartless This card has essentially replaced Disallow for me and that card makes the top 100 EDHREC list for blue. You really get to dictate a lot of game situations, including canceling infinite combos at various different steps, denying other players from drawing cards, or activating planeswalkers. This counters pretty much everything: activated abilities, triggered abilities, and all spells. It's not quite a hard counterspell but paying four extra mana is generally impossible before turn eight. What can I say about Whirlwind Denial except that it's my new favorite counterspell at three mana? I think it's saved more of my games recently than any other card. Top is a strong card and you can definitely consider Soothsaying a worse Top, but, it's a Top that can also be pitched to Force of Will or Force of Negation as needed. It draws comparisons to Sensei's Divining Top. Did I mention it costs only ONE mana to cast? Furthermore, you can protect key cards from mill effects, and the increasingly common exile or cast from library effects of cards like Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Xanathar, Guild Kingpin. Soothsaying guarantees good cards by either digging deep or completely reshuffling your pile. If you're drawing the wrong cards every turn suddenly card draw isn't so good. Card draw is valuable, but card selection can be almost as important.
It works extremely well with untap effects like Wilderness Reclamation so you're getting huge value every turn. Soothsaying turns every single leftover mana into a resource, every turn.
