Used this in my mill deck for Jace, Memory Adept's ultimate (alongside a Jace's Erasure).
Was able to pull off his ultimate and didn't exactly know how to hold the 20 extra cards in my hand, so I dispersed the tower back to my hand and discarded back down to 7.
Then used that Psychic Spiral :)

How is this rated lower than spellbook?

Love the art; it looks like the Disney Atlantis movie.

This card has some sweet new promo art.

Like Homeward Path, you should probably have one in each EDH deck... just in case.
In normal situations, you'd probably not need it. But if someone plays a Forced Fruition or a Font of Mythos, guess who's not screwed anymore?
This also completely takes out the negative aspects of Jin-Gitaxias: you won't be discarding any of those 7 cards, and reducing your hand size from infinite to infinite - 7 doesn't really matter.
This "no maximum hand size" effect can backfire, though: playing Resurrection EDH usually benefits from lots of discarding; Dreamborn Muse is just unpleasant when you have 10+ cards in your hand.

Much needed reprint, especially with EDH (aka. Commander) getting pushed so much lately.

@redmercury: spellbook does not use your land drop for the turn, although it does not generate mana either. I'd say this is probably the better card overall though.

All I can say is creeping renaissance. In a long game when you have plenty of mana. Opponent usually quits if I do it.
