Select is kind of a weird card. Basically, it is a cantrip. Just a cantrip, but a very playable cantrip. Pretty good for the blue deck that often finds itself in need of mana, or the combo deck that considers all cards not part of the combo as irrelevant. I just find something funny in the idea that a card that basically just cycles itself is so playable.

U: draw a card is probably borderline playable on its own

ponder variants are generally always played

Yeah, this strikes me as a very playable card. I like how its useful in both the early and late stages of the game, fetching that needed mana early, and perhaps filtering out unneeded lands later on. Cool card.
