Card selection (scry, surveil, top of library)

Looks at the top cards of your library and chooses where they go, or sets up the top of your library (provides). Scry, surveil, "look at the top N cards of your library" with a choice among them (Ponder, Sleight of Hand, Commune with Nature), "you may look at the top card of your library any time", and putting cards on top of your library (Sensei's Divining Top, Brainstorm, Sylvan Library, Vampiric Tutor). Rewards it when the card triggers on scrying or surveilling, lets you play or cast cards from the top of your library (Future Sight, Bolas's Citadel), casts or keeps the top card if it fits (Galvanoth, Delver of Secrets), cares what the top card is, or has miracle. Exiling the top card to play it (impulse draw), revealing cards until a condition is met and looking at an opponent's library are not this.
