Ugh. I want to like this card, but the effect is so absurd that I can only shake my head. I've seen several people independently create a "draw your entire library" card while they were toying around with creating their own cards. The effect is something that I've heard overzealous Johnny/Timmy hybrids bring up when working out how they plan to achieve an outrageously convoluted combo. "Well, just wait until I draw my entire library..."
It's painfully obvious that this is the card you want to cast when you resolve Omniscience. The trouble is that this an exemplary "win-more" card. Commander/EDH notwithstanding, if you have 12 mana available (or have Omniscience in play) why haven't you won the game already?

I'm considering making a deck called Spellol just to troll people, and have been since this was spoiled. Some of you guys said what I'm about to mention, but no I didn't copy your idea. Sorry.
So how it works is you ramp. A lot. Until you can play Doubling Season (no autocard needed). Then you cast Jace, Architect of Thought and use his ultimate. It can go a lot of places from there. You can plop Emrakul (kinda lame in my opinion), you can tutor this card (good, but could be better) or you could find Omniscience. While testing, I always go for Omniscience if I have this in my hand. Then I cast my whole deck, basically the same effect as casting Primal Surge in a deck with no other non-permanents. If Emrakul and my other fatty beatsticks aren't able to get enough damage in, Laboratory Maniac wins for me. Also, I threw in Wheel of Sun and Moon (because I already ... (see all)

I don't care how practical this card is. I don't care if I never get a chance to use it. I don't care if it's basically suicide if you don't know what you're doing.
This card exists. That makes me HAPPY.

Clearly EDH matterial. If you can green mana ramp into mass land first it might be ok. I sadly got one adn i wanna trade it away.

Other ways to play this in EDH (not as efficient as Omniscience or Dream Halls but still nice): Counterlash a sorcery or use Djinn of Wishes ability, aided by Sensei's Diving Top.

This plus Omniscience and Borborygmos Enraged makes me a happy Timmy/Johnny.
Draw library, then discard each remaining land for 3 damage a piece. Add a Psychic Spiral or Elixir of Immortality into the mix to recycle lands, and if it wasn't game over already, it soon will be.
I would also concur with Superllama12's recommendation regarding using Spelltwine.

Once in play make sure to have a Reliquary Tower, then before each of your turns start, sac Dark Revenant. As long as Dark Revenant doesn't get exiled, you can spend as much time killing your opponent as you want.

Would it have killed them to give you no maximum handsize for the rest of the game?

@SRSFACE, I disagree, I see no reason why you can't get this out in standard. I have a standard omniscience deck that I'm reworking and I've gotten omniscience on the field plenty of times. Not to mention that with unexpected results you could potentially cast omniscience for free as early as turn 3.

"Oh hey, I'm getting bored of this game. Mind if I just throw my entire library at you?"
