Workspace for my Rielle the Everwise deck in progress! Rielle has the potential for incredible card advantage with her triggered ability, and we're going to see what's most efficient in slot over the next couple weeks. The big question is bulk loots vs small upsides -- so goblin lore vs cycling, basically.
I've made a little list of cards that have rielle upsides. It should be pretty exhaustive. If you're playing no proxy, or want some wacky substitutions, maybe this will help you.
How the table works: When you look at, say, Reach Through Mists, you think, okay, draw a card is the effect, so that's card advantage +1. But Reach Through Mists itself is a card which has to be used to gain the drawn card. Therefore, we'd say you're +1 card and -1 card when playing Reach Through Mists, so we broke even. If the card is used to achieve some effect in addition to its draw, for instance Peek, then we'd say the card is +1 card and used for an effect, and we would weight the value of that effect against the lost slot from its inclusion. So all strictly draw spells inherently have -1 in that the card itself is lost in the process of using it to draw more, but cards with additional effects aren't considered -1 because they actually accomplish something.
Second, we reach the question of looting, situations in which your draw and discard are even. So for Careful Study, you're -1 for the card itself, and you loot two, meaning you draw two and then discard 2. With Rielle on the board, you draw 2, discard 2, and then draw 2, netting you a +1 card advantage overall plus 4 cards seen.
These lists represent card value for all draw cards with and without Rielle on the board, organized in ascending mana cost for their use as draw cards (cycling cards are organized by their cycling costs, not CMC), with notes about upsides such as instant speed, reusable, good alternate effects, etc.
