Art is based on Albrecht Durer's engraving "Knight, Death, and the Devil"... (See this detail: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f8qaegCiyU/S9Q8PE4u7iI/AAAAAAAABlA/wFZIQ-qDaK4/s400/KD%26D_detail_02.jpg )

Haha i think they needa reprint. honestly though reprint it as another card, its actually pretty cool. if you draw extra, you dont get card advantage

It seems a lot of people have no idea how this card truly works. You can use it in a dicard/mill deck to force draw (and then subsequent milling) once their hand is empty. I choose to use it in a Megrim deck to take advantage of cards like Prosperity. If you couple this with cards like Howling Mine and Underworld Dreams , you can most often kill people during their draw phase or upkeep. Put that in your Memory Jar and smoke it!

So, after your first draw in your draw phase, when you should draw, you need to discard for, then draw. if you can't discard, then you mill a card and don't get to draw. sounds right.

the original wording: "every time a player draws a card, that player must first discard a card from his or her hand. if there are no cards in player's hand, take top card from library and place it in the graveyard instead of drawing. this enchantment does not apply to the first card drawn by a player during the draw phase."
while this could be broken, i guess it can't replace the draw effect from itself.
it is however rather handy with Compulsive Research, Forget, Reckless schoolar, Vendilion Clique and witsfull thinking. using it as discard instead of just waiting for the opponent to draw two cards.

basically reads: "draw spells have no effect"

OMG. How have I not heard of this card before? Its insane. Once they have no cards... they never ever get another. Period. End of story. For 2 mana. OMG.

It just gets worse the second two of them are in play.

the oracle text is WRONG. as it's worded, it says anytime you would draw a card that's not your normal draw, instead discard your hand and mill one card.
It needs a qualifier that it doesn't effect card draws caused by this card.
