Why is this card good?

Aqueous Form is a one-mana evasion enabler with a tiny smoothing upside, and that combination is exactly why it overperforms its rank in the right shell. The real payoff isn't the scry — it's "can't be blocked" on a creature you absolutely need to connect. That makes it premium in: - Voltron (Slippery Bogle, single-creature commanders) where you need guaranteed combat damage to land commander damage or auras/equipment. - Combat-trigger / damage-trigger decks — anything that wants a creature to hit a player, like Sword-carriers, poison/infect, or "deals combat damage" effects. - Curse/sneaky value decks that need a reliable connection each turn. It's cheap, low-opportunity-cost, and the repeated scry stacks nicely with topdeck synergies (Brainstorm-style decks, miracles). Skip it in go-wide token decks, control, or any deck that doesn't care about one specific creature getting through — you'd rather have a removal spell or card draw. It's also fragile: enchantment removal two-for-ones you, and it does nothing if your creature dies.

When you scry, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards on the bottom of your library, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them on the bottom.

You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, that means you'll scry last. For others, that means you'll scry and then perform other actions.

Scry appears on some spells and abilities with one or more targets. If all of the spell or ability's targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't scry.
