Card rulings 9
  1. Augur of Autumn doesn't change the times when you can play a land card from the top of your library. You can play a land only during your main phase when you have priority and the stack is empty. Doing so counts as your land play for the turn.
  2. Many coven abilities, such as that of Dawnhart Wardens above, are triggered abilities with intervening if clauses. You must control three or more creatures with different powers at the time the ability triggers and at the time the ability tries to resolve. They do not, however, need to be the same set of creatures in both cases.
  3. Essentially, Augur of Autumn lets you play with the top card of your library revealed only to you. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand. You may look at the top card of your library whenever you want, even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack.
  4. For three creatures to have different powers from one another, each of their powers needs to be different. A 1/1 creature, a 2/1 creature, and another 2/1 creature aren't three creatures with different powers, even though both 2/1 creatures have different power than the 1/1 creature.
  5. A creature has different power from another if their powers are different numbers. For example, a 1/1 creature and a 2/1 creature have different powers.
  6. If the top card of your library changes during the process of casting a spell or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until the process of casting the spell or activating the ability ends (all targets are chosen, all costs are paid, and so on).
  7. The top card of your library isn't in your hand, so you can't suspend it, cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.
  8. You still pay all costs for that spell, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs.
  9. While you have three creatures with different powers, Augur of Autumn allows you to cast the top card of your library if it's a creature card, it's your main phase, and the stack is empty. If that creature card has flash, you'll be able to cast it any time you could cast an instant, even on an opponent's turn.

Updated

Augur of Autumn gives green decks access to the top of the library without immediately spending cards from hand. You can look at the top card at any time and play lands from there, while coven adds permission to cast creature spells from the top when you control three or more creatures with different powers. That can keep a creature-heavy deck developing through several useful top cards in a turn.

Additional land-play effects such as Exploration or Azusa, Lost but Seeking help clear more lands from the top. Fetch lands can shuffle away a card you cannot currently use, giving the Augur another chance to reveal a playable land or creature. The information also helps plan whether to cast a draw spell or preserve the current top card for another effect.

Coven checks creature power rather than mana value, creature type, or the number of counters present. A board of three creatures with identical power does not qualify. Counter placement and anthem effects can change whether the condition is met, so evaluate the actual powers after continuous effects are applied.

The Augur does not grant extra land plays or ignore normal casting timing. You still need mana for creatures cast from the library, and instant or sorcery cards can stop the sequence until you draw or move them. It fits decks with a high creature count, varied creature sizes, and enough ways to manage the top card that the extra access becomes a regular source of advantage.
