You guys dont forget Belltower Sphinx , it also works good in mill decks.
Wizards could make an ability on cards called: Mill 5 or something like that.
I first read Time scour instead of tome scour, dont ask me why...

I don't understand why the rating is so low. This is a perfect card for mill decks, for four blue mana you can take out a third of the deck (probably more, since four of them would mill for twenty and most people would be down to a lot less by the time you could play all four).

Yeah, or maybe milling can be more like a keyword, and Jace Beleren would say "Target player has to Mill 20".
Tome Scour + Djinn Illuminatus = epic win!

Whenever I cast Tome Scour I shout, "I HAVE THE SCOURRRRRRR!" because I'm cool like He-Man.

A decent Mill card, but I've found that my mill deck fairs better with cheap control cards such as Duress and Negate in the early game, and cards like Nemesis of Reason, Mind Funeral and Archive Trap to deal with the rest of their deck. Its a decent card, but they will only rarely mill your opponent to death, and a blue-black mill deck benefits more from early threat removal while you get your finishers out.

This card and Millstone are very accurate indicators if the person playing them is trying to win a game or is just trying to do cool stuff. However, occasionally a person playing bad mill* would testify under oath that (s)he is trying to win. I will fix that in this post.
*Bad Mill- as in "a bad milling strategy". Tome Scour is not inherently a bad card. It does get used very badly however.
There is a common illusion that if the top handful of cards of someone's library were to be put in their graveyard, then they "lost" those cards- just in the same way as if they had those cards in their hand and were forced to discard them. Example:
Player A: "Player B, I gonna Tome Scour you."
Player B: "Oh NO!! (*sigh*) Alright, here goes. (Takes a deep breath and SLOWLY takes the top card of the top of his library) DAMMIT!! You got a Mountain!! I needed that!! (Flips second card slowly) DAMMIT!! You got another Mountain!! I nee... (see all)
