I played it once or twice, a lot of time ago! It costs a lot, considering that is a double (almost...) Impulse. If it were an instant or costed 2BlueBlue, or said "Look at the top EIGHT cards of your library...", it would be much more better...

4/5

Wasn't 7E contemporaneous with Odyssey block? This card would have been completely apewire back then.

Would make a good reprint for Innistrad as a graveyard set. Maybe too good.

Pull 2 out of 7 deep and feed your graveyard. Solid 5cc draw spell. BlueBlueBlue heavy but solid none the less.

@ Clockwork Swordfish:

This wouldn't do squat for Madness decks (being that madness costs may only be paid if you discard the cards), but it would be pretty good for Threshold decks (which like you to have 7 or more cards in your graveyard). Being that this is a card that puts 5 cards in your graveyard, it's 6/7ths of Threshold on turn 5.

Edit: Having played Innistrad limited with a tri-color Forbidden Alchemy deck, I have to say this is an extremely powerful card filter/graveyard stocker for the bargain of five mana. It's practically a tutor.

Forbidden Alchemy's crazy grandfather. Pretty cool card and pretty neat art.

If it were an instant, this card would be 4.5 at the least. Still pretty good, considering how graveyard interactions are much more prominent than when it was first printed.

Ages well, 3.5.
