This seems more green than black

I concur

Herald of Tomorrow is a more comprehensible name than Wings of Tomorrow?

Think this could be cheaper, it'll be a 1/1 a large amount of the time. Maybe give it scry 1/2/3 to keep the same cost?

I'm trying to imagine the best case scenario for this guy. You have the top card of your library revealed so you know when to play it. The top card of your library is at least a 6 cmc creature, and then you finally get a 7/7 vanilla monster for 4G. Doesn't seem that exciting, can't imagine wanting to ever play it blind. I'd agree with Paul and bring its cost down so sometimes you might be tempted to play it early. Start it at 3G?

I don't think I'd ever play this since it could be a 1/1 without Foresight and when you have it you still have to wait for a good card to be on top. Maybe it should just put the card into play if it's a permanent...

I saw this guy as a 6/6 yesterday. Is the variance fun or does it just make the card stupid one way or the other every time?
