Survivor of the Unseen

Library Manipulation Effects

There do not seem to be a lot of repeatable effect that allow players to manipulate the top of their library using their hand in the way that Survivor of the Unseen does, but there are plenty of "looter" cards that allow you to manipulate the graveyard. Is one inherently more powerful than the other? Why are there not more effects like Survivors?

It’s not an effect we want to do repeatable as it doesn’t lead to particularly fun gameplay. The top of your library should be a mystery most of time. Remember Survivor of the Unseen has Cumulative Upkeep. It doesn’t stay around forever.
