Such an entirely underrated card. I use it in my Kresh Sac/Token/Counters deck for EDH, and more often than not, opponents will look puzzled when I put it out instead of Sensei's Divining Top or other good artifacts. But in the right deck, this is a killer card. Not only is 3 colourless relatively cheap in EDH, but in the right deck, you could be putting a card in your hand every turn, from a pool ranging from 2 to 10 cards that you've cycled!
With Doubling Season or Parallel Lives and Awakening Zone, it's pretty much paying for itself! Create two Eldrazi spawn, sacrifice them, place four counters on the Jar, pay an extra one from somewhere, select a card. Then throw in exciting stuff like Grave Pact or death abilities, and you've got yourself a powerful artifact that can still chug along while you're making your combo.
Plus what other card can you place on the battlefield with th... (see all)

Protip: Go to a craft store and buy some plastic googly eyes to use as eyeball counters.

I think this is way underrated. Yeah, it is kinda expensive, but it's colorless card advantage and a great sifter. So even if you don't build a morbid-type deck, it can still be pretty good in a control mirror-match as a 1-of

@phyrexiantrygon: Someone needs to do totally unflavorful Eye tribal with those and the Jar!

Mmm, olives. I didn't know there were white olives, though.
And yeah, mechanically it's a bit lacking, but you've got to love the flavor.
