Now I'm curious to see which of Treasure Cruise and Dig through Time will see more play. Cruise gets you one extra card and can be played for U versus UU, but it being sorcery speed may not be as good. Meanwhile, Dig allows for (how appropriate) more digging and can be done at the end step, but it only gets you two cards. Hmm....

And Villanous Wealth is now nicknamed "Enemy Wave."

Pretty sure Dig Through Time is way better than Treasure Cruise. Both cost too much for though.

Yeah, on second thought you're probably right. The rare vs. common thing is in play, too. xD

I don't think they're overpriced, though. Someone tested Cruise in a particular Modern deck (don't remember which one) and said they could easily cast it for 2U by turn 3-4. Any less of a cost would result in too much card advantage too early.

Basically it is a War of: Draw 3 blindy or Pickup the best 2 Cards out of 7.

 

That tells you right away which one is better

I'm certain Delve through time and Delve cruise will be played. Draw spells are pretty scarce in standard right now and these two are excellent card advantage engines.

 

Jace's Ingenuity will be ran long before Treasure Cruise. Delve Through Time may see play though since instant speed, 2 best of 7, is no joke, even with that price.

I disagree. Jace's Ingenuity is a 5 mana instant. Match the cost only takes three cards in the the yard and that very easy, especially with fetch lands. I'd say at at four is where are about even in power and at five I'd always be much happier with Cruise. I think I'd always play Dig over Cruise though.
