Opt — Quick Sight from the Crow's Nest
Opt is a tidy one mana Instant that rewards foresight and tempo. The Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm printing shows a captain scanning the horizon with a spyglass, which fits the card’s function: Scry 1 to sculpt the next draw, then draw a card to keep your plan moving. In practical play Opt smooths out early turns, digs for answers, and lets you keep up with opponent lines while maintaining gas for later turns.
Use Opt when you need a clean interaction with the top of your library. It plays well in tempo shells and control decks that value incremental advantage, and it slots easily into any blue Commander deck that wants consistent card quality. The art captures the set’s Tarkir maritime tone without overstating it and the single blue pip makes Opt a flexible inclusion in any blue build looking to stabilize and pivot quickly.
