Diviner of Mist enters the battlefield and immediately draws you a card, then replaces itself with another draw when it phases out — two cards for one creature slot. The cost is a four-mana 2/3 with no other text, so you're running it because Teval, the Balanced Scale turns that phase-out trigger into a repeatable engine, not because the body does anything on its own.

Teval, the Balanced Scale
Teval, the Balanced Scale rewards you for phasing permanents in and out, and Diviner of Mist converts every phase-out cycle into card advantage — the enters-the-battlefield draw and the phase-out draw stack directly onto Teval's counter and draw triggers, making it one of the cleanest role-players in the deck.

Diviner of Mist is a Commander card through and through — the phase-out payoff only becomes worthwhile when a commander like Teval, the Balanced Scale is generating additional value on top of the baseline two-card draw. In Legacy and Vintage, where it's technically legal, a four-mana 2/3 that draws two cards over two turns isn't close to competitive; those formats have far more efficient card draw and no interest in the phase-out mechanic. Commander is the only context where this card earns its slot.

Price Context
Current price
$0.27 bulk tier
At $0.27, Diviner of Mist sits firmly in bulk territory — you're paying almost nothing for a card that pulls real weight in the right deck. Bulk rares in narrow commander roles rarely spike, so don't expect price movement, but at this price there's no reason to hesitate if Teval, the Balanced Scale is your commander.
