Ponder, Sorcery, designed by Steve Argyle first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 26 different ways. It see play in 5 formats: Commander, Pauper, Brawl, Duel Commander and Casual. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.65.
A deck that focuses on card advantage and manipulation, such as a control or combo deck, would benefit from using Ponder in Magic: the Gathering. While Ponder is a solid card for setting up future draws and finding key pieces, there are arguably better options like Preordain or Brainstorm that offer similar effects with added flexibility or efficiency. Whether Ponder should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and card pool of the deck in question.
