With the amount of Fetch Lands in Zendikar, this becomes a great standard card with all the jund decks lying around.

Not the greatest card, but it's very useful in a wizard deck. Couple 4 Cosi's Tickster with 4 Extract, and you're not only putting a counter on Cosi, but also exiling a card from an opponents library. With Sigil Tracer, you can copy it.

Good in theory, bad in reality. It's just like Scute Mob - you can ignore it until it becomes deadly, then you can just spot remove it with a Terminate/Doom Blade/Path etc. The only consolation is that this is blue, so you may have a counterspell of some sort lying around.
I often use a Jund deck myself, and usually you only fetch lands up to 4 times in a game - and very rarely all 4 (Verdant Catacombs). Most of the time you might do it once, maybe twice, and then just use the other multilands + Garruk to fulfill your mana costs. In theory, it could do very well against RW Bushwhacker which is usually using 12 fetches atm, but again - one Path to Exile, and all that boosting has gone to waste.

The point of this thing is FORCING your foe to shuffle his/her library; set up this in turn 1, throw a Sadistic Sacrament on turn 3-4, a Thought Hemorrhage on turn 4-5, a couple Path to Exile to random puppets and, if its still wandering around, your first turn drop is now a 4/4.
True: Terminate/Doom Blade/Path to Exile and you just wasted your first turn. now in standard, name 3 cards which are 4/4 in turn 5 and cost one mana.

Expect to see this guy a lot in Standard. Maybe even in Extended.
EDIT: This is, in my opinion, the best blue card in Standard.
