I had a question about it's mechanics.
If I use a Cosi's Trickster, the wording on Haunting Echoes seems to indicate that for EACH CARD REMOVED, my opponent has to go through the searching/removing/shuffling process. Which would pump the trickster up tremendously.
does this work?

Works great with Decimator Web.

This could be fun to side in vintage.

@Toronado282: I'm pretty sure your trickster would get only one counter.
The reason is that "Then that player shuffles their library" is a different sentence, which implies that it is a separate step. To resolve this card, you do three actions in order:
1. Exile cards from the graveyard
2. Search for all the other copies of the cards you exiled this way (technically a separate search action for each card, but I'm not aware of anything that triggers off searching someone else's library so this shouldn't matter.)
3. They shuffle.

Magic has an abundance of cards with illustrations that show people clutching their own heads and screaming or gritting their teeth and stuff -- these are usually the black cards that make your opponents discard cards or lose life. I would've expected Haunting Echoes to show a picture of a head-clutching person, which would have made boring but appropriate flavor sense; but instead, we have a picture of a man trying to eat his own shadow. With a fork.
Now Nils is a great artist (and his promo artisan of kozilek absolutely wins), but this one is positively abstract.

Play this with strong BU control and combine with Glimpse the Unthinkable and/or Mind Funeral and you've got a very solid deck.

I use this alongside removal and discard in my mono-black control deck, it's devestating when it goes through. I honestly don't even need it because by turn 5 I've already used Surgical Extraction and 1 cmc discard spells to eliminate any real threats to my Obliterators. I also run some Phyrexian Metamorph just in case.

things get a bit fun if someone is playing Reverberate or a Redirect against this...
