Love it in Melek edh, especially with the instant speed triggering. Hilarious combos with Leyline if Anticipation.
The art is kinda lopsided though...

Strange question, but how large do you suppose it is, dose it fit into the Sensei's hands or does he use magic to spin a massive top?
on the card, This is absolutely amazing and should be at least a 2 of in any deck that can run it.
5/5 Stars

Most powerful card made since Urza Block at least. The only kind of deck that doesn't strongly benefit from having this is the sort that is loaded with cheap synergistic creatures, where it doesn't really matter which of them you draw.

Giving the phrase "Rip off the Top" a whole new meaning since 2004

Fun tech with the top? Darkblast
Mill the 3 if they suck by dredging darkblast with the draw function. At the same time it can be used to surprise-load removal into your hand causing miscalculations. My favorite? Floating something huge on top of the library when they get ready to Show and Tell.

I spent a long time wondering what makes this so powerful. And I finally figured it out, so if you're also having a hard time yourself, listen up.
It essentially adds any one of your top three cards in your library to your hand. Or, if you prefer to think of it this way, it extends the reach of your hand three cards into your library. Because, if you look at your top three and rearrange them every turn, you're always free to tap this and add that card to your hand for no mana cost. And, to boot, it keeps recurring itself.
That is disgusting. I can imagine countless past games where a lucky topdeck could have meant the difference between victory and defeat. Having access to that topdeck at all times can make you all but impossible to outmaneuver. And that's just with this card by itself!
Yes, I completely understand why it was banned now.
