Prayer beads are a common item in many real-world religions, as well as many fantasy stories, but they have not yet appeared in this game, so here is my interpretation of them for this game:

I used Mask of Avacyn as a guideline for this, and, since the beads are much more restrictive, I reduced both the casting cost and the equip cost. All creatures gain hexproof from the beads, indicating that they are being protected by divine forces, but clerics gain an additional bonus of becoming more powerful and also being able to commune with those divine powers to see briefly into the future.
What does everyone else think of this card? Is it a good design? Should the scry effect have a value of only 1?

Colonel_Kink, what do you recommend instead of scrying? I contemplated direct card drawing, but I felt that that would be too powerful.

DemonDragonJ, I like the card but maybe reduce the equip cost for clerics (To 1) and make it: Tap, Exert it, draw a card. But I don't really know. Also make the bonus like +0+2 to make it more fair if you go with the card draw.

actually pretty good. id recommend that instead of the 1/1 bonus id give it a 1/2 or 0/2 bonus, cuz clerics are known for damage redirection.
the scry is fine, but boring.
