Accumulated Knowledge

This card clearly demands 5 stars... Instant draw + the amount of cards you get for that skinny amount of mana is just ridiculous!

4 copies please xD

Wack this on an Ischron Sceptre and use the various tutors to get the rest out and into your graveyard. You can be drawing 3 cards for 2C.

Almost a permanent ancestral recall.

This needs five stars because of the power it has with Intuition to thin your deck and draw cards. You Intuition for three of these, and you get to draw three cards as well, all for five mana. Sure, you could use Braingeyser, but it's not an Instant and this also thins your deck for a total of six cards (three Accumulated Knowledge tutored with the Intuition and three cards drawn with AK). If you don't get what you're looking for with the cards drawn with AK, this has increased your chances of getting something you need a bit quicker than if you were to play another draw engine.

what's a blue mage to do? as the card pool expands to ever vaster proportions, so too do the options for drawing cards with several different expansions. especially if you're playing type 1.0 or 1.5. for me personally trying to squeeze my sixty card deck with, well, in no particular order; 'brainstorm,' 'serum visions,' 'impulse,' and
'accumulated knowledge......' now i almost preeminently play just 1.5 so i didn't list some of the type 1.0 cards before you write in to scream and tell me how incredibly stupid i must be. and lets not forget the taplands(and pay a life) from 'onslaught', which i play six of currently(three 'flooded strand' and three 'polluted delta'). right now, out of the aforementioned cards, 'impulse' sad to say, hasn't been included in my present monoblue deck. although that might change in the future. whoa! almost forgot that i'm here to talk about 'accumulated knowledge'
though. um.....pretty good card. i notice in alot of extended tournaments it gets 'intuition' ed for alot to maximize card drawing. although i will say in my personal play i mainly use it as is. but, i'm not exactly a top tier blue mage,
blue being my weakest color. awesome looking card, and several times nicer in its foil incarnation. in conclusion, recommend.....but pity the poor sap for the plethora of choices to be made. but that's probably why you're playing blue anyway, right? hehehehe..................

This card is great just cuz it's an instant. Im combo decks with a lot of draw it works perfectly.

I think this card should get a three because the odds of getting more than one of this card isnt very high. A good thing about it is if you are playing with a blue black deck and you had something like Promise of Power, it would add up to be a pretty good combo.
