Paradox Surveyor would fit best in Simic (green-blue) decks that care about big mana, X-spells, or ramp strategies—especially Commander decks built around casting scalable spells like Hydroid Krasis, Finale of Devastation, or other large X-cost threats, since it helps dig five cards deep for either a land drop or a payoff while providing a 4-mana body with reach to block flyers.
