To some older Magic players, Hedron Archive may look rather familiar. That's because it's a functionally similar card to an old EDH favorite, Dreamstone Hedron, which was first printed in Rise of the Eldrazi. This is essentially two-thirds of that card. It costs 4, and taps for 2 colorless mana. You can also pay 2 colorless mana, tap, and sacrifice it to draw 2 cards. The Dreamstone Hedron cost 6, but tapped for 3 mana, and could tap and be sacrificed for 3 mana to draw 3 cards. This is simply a version that's lower on the mana curve, but serves pretty much the same purpose.
I can see a lot of EDH (Commander) players wanting this card in much the same way they want the older Hedron. It's a pretty decent mana rock that replaces itself and gives you a plus-one when you need it. Is it Constructed playable? The older Hedron never really did at 6 mana, but this one being much lower on the curve potentially could. Personally, I think it's just going to see Limited and Commander play, but the latter means that foils could be in the realm of $2-3 given time. Definitely a card that I like.
