Divining Witch names a card and stacks your entire library so that card is on top — a deterministic tutor for any combo piece, with the downside that you exile the rest of your deck in the process. That cost is irrelevant when the named card is Thassa's Oracle.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |

| oathbreaker | legal |
Divining Witch is a Commander card through and through — the format's singleton structure makes deterministic access to a single card disproportionately powerful, and 100-card libraries mean milling yourself out after naming the win condition is a feature. In Legacy and Vintage, it's legal but has no competitive presence; three mana for a tutor that exiles your library is catastrophic in 60-card formats where the remaining cards are your safety net. Oathbreaker shares Commander's singleton dynamics and could theoretically support the same Oracle line, though the smaller deck size makes the exile clause more punishing.

Current price
$0.86 bulk tier
At $0.86, Divining Witch sits in bulk territory despite being a genuine combo enabler, which means it's one of the cheapest ways to add a deterministic tutor to a Commander list. That price is unlikely to spike without a reprint scare or a breakout deck putting it in the spotlight, so picking up copies now is straightforward.
