This reminds me a bit of precognition really, so perhaps make this a permanent that can cast precognition with 3 :time per turn?
But that gets rid of the theme and makes it just a copy-card...
It is the greatest mystery of all...

I really like this concept.  I think that after tweaking, this card will have true potential to go in-game.

wow. this thread exploded a bit while i was away. sorry for not keeping up. on vacation at the moment.

I hadnt considered things like permanents. I do believe that that might be thematic to have it identify permanents and creatures. But It is not supposed to see spells. I think that would be more thematic with something more magical than an "outpost."

I had considered something like a precog as a secondary skill while i was coming up with the idea. but i disregarded that exactly for the reasons already stated. it doesnt particulary go with the theme.

The reason i had it so expensive was that i had intended to give it a secondary skill but i couldnt figure out what to give it.

After reading the posts, what i most like at the moment is tweaking it so that it spots creatures and permanents with the 3 :earth | 3 :rainbow cost.

Edit: but even with that change it might still need some secondary ability. thoughts?

Interesting. I could have it summon a Vanadium warden. or have some sort of tag team with wardens. maybe give them an in element buff of some kind.

Ah, if that artowrk isn't original, you have to put credits and a link in the art section of the table.
On a side note, the frist card seems to be Castillo San Filipe del Morro or Morro Castle.
Can't find a match on the second.
