General (SOS) Secrets of Strixhaven

Really excited for some new Converge cards!
I don't usually get excited for MaRo's blog posts where he posts leprechaun riddles about what to expect in upcoming sets, but a few caught my eye that were pretty exciting.
A new Pox piece being the most exciting of the bunch, although I hope its not a stronger 4cmc-version of Pox as I most likely wouldn't run it.
The other hint was about a legendary cycle that all contain old keyword mechanics, which pretty much has to be the cycle of Elder Dragons based on the two that have been spoiler / leaked. Lorehold with Miracle and Witherbloom with Affinity. Witherbloom is pretty boring imo, but Lorehold was one of the more creative implementations of Miracle I have seen so I have my hopes up for some zesty Dragons still to come (fingers crossed for unearth / landfall on my end).

In case someone maybe forgot: In Strixhaven (on the plane of Arcavios) they have a Biblioplex and in their most inner sanctum they have a library called The Mystical Archive that contains every single spell ever cast in the multiverse. For this reason it is really cool, if you ask me, that they know how to cast Ancestral Recall.

Im a vacuum this is probably worse than Cathar Commando. But as I support a lifegain theme that could need another enabler, I will happily add extra utility to this bread and butter effect slot.
Can't link an image, but I'm drawn to this card from the Commons leak:
Visionary's Dance -
Sorcery (c)
Create two 3/3 blue and red Elemental creature tokens with flying.
, discard this card: Look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard.
and this Common legendary that actually kinda makes thematic sense as a common for once?
Page, Loose Leaf -
Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct (c)
: Add 
Grandeur - Discard another card named Page, Loose Leaf: Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal an instant or sorcery card. Put that card into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Could be one of Codie's pages.
