I am convinced the reason that Premonition was included in the Chapter 2 Core Set is because the designers intended for it to be used with Will of the Cosmos as a way to easily discard Doom that gets added to a player card from Will of the Cosmos under a player's control.
When Premonition is played, it is under a players control. Under the rule Ownership and Control. "Cards by default enter play under their owner's control. Some abilities may cause cards to change control during a game."

Good combo.

So they looked at Will of the Cosmos and said “that’s too many hoops for Mystics to jump through to testlessly gain two clues at level zero. Let’s print another great card that trivializes the downside in the same set to boost Mystic clue event power to the level we desire. And also let’s print Augur of Elokoss and charge 3 XP for it.”
