As wolfbear2 noted, this could be a bomb in dredge, especially in a casual deck when combined with the keyword dredge itself (I'm not sure if he meant the archetype or the keyword).
Once you've gotten something with dredge in your graveyard (with a turn one Careful Study, perhaps?), you wont have any problems getting the rest of your deck there.
The biggest minus though ought to be the double blue cost, but that shouldn't be too hard to get around with all mana fixing available

At first I thought this was good because I misread the part about "from your library". Then realized it's pretty awful. If it let you draw without paying a cost, or triggered when a land went to your graveyard from play, it might be useful. As it is, pretty worthless except a few extremely rare corner cases (the aforementioned dredge decks).

Good with Jace's Erasure. That's about it I guess.

Tough card to make use of...mill yourself using cards like Saprazzan Breaker maybe?
Sigh...this card would be a whole lot more interesting if you didn't have to pay any mana for drawing.

I suppose you could use it with Knight of the Reliquary or Harrow, but it really doesn't seem worth including over other, more useful cards.

I'm surprised nobody has done this yet.

This card deserves a much higher rating. Just because it can't fit into any old deck doesn't make it bad.
Like aforementioned, run this with Jace's Erasure and something that reveals the top card of your library, such as Wizened Snitches or Sphinx of Jwar Isle. Whenever you draw a card, you get to take a look at the next card up; If it's a card you don't want you can mill it with the erasure, if you want the next card though you can keep it there and mill your opponent's top card instead (if it's good, that is). If your next card is a land and you don't need it, mill it then draw again. This card could be an especially efficient deck thinner if ran with Scry cards or cards with Scry-like functions such as Sage Owl. Need I not mention Crucible of Worlds; ensure a land drop almost every turn and even more card acceleration.
Now if you'll excuse me gentlemen, I'm off to build a deck.... (see all)
