My brother hates this card when I pop his library with it and use Unbender Tine to untap it. That's four cards a turn!
4.5/5

One of the most misunderstood mechanics, for noobs. The thing is, by itself, mill doesn't really do anything. Yeah, those are two cards you'll never see, but you'll see everything below those two cards quicker.
For comparison: Suppose this card instead said "put two cards from the top of target player's library onto the bottom of that player's library". Then, it'd be obvious that it does nothing by itself, but really, the bottom of a library is just as gone as the graveyard is.
There are only a few situations where mill is relevant:
1: If you actually manage to mill away someone's entire library. But it takes an awful lot of mill to accomplish that; this card by itself won't get you anywhere close.
2: It fills up graveyards, to fuel reanimation and dredge and the like. If your opponent is playing one of those styles, you don't want to help him out.
3: Your opponent sees which cards he's missing out on, and can plan accordingly. Well, you can, too, but since your opponent pr... (see all)

outdated unless you rearrange the top of the opponents library and you have nothing else to mill with precision in your arsenal.

With all the new mill stuff (Traumatize, Glimpse the Unthinkable, Mind Sculpt, etc.) I would only run this for the nostalgia. :)

@SonorhC I take your point (I know how bad it feels to mill your friend only to have them pull the bomb that was six turns away before mill) but remember that damage does not do anything until you lose the last point of life as well.

Still holds a place in mill deck, and always will. 5/5 for making Jace a possibility.
