"Not to sound stupid but to be corrected on this please the card states that "each opponent" so if I were to cast this card does it apply to me as well or just other players because technically I'm an opponent to the other player and it says each opponent?"
That's nonsensical. The word "opponent" has the same meaning in Magic as it does in English; that is, an "opponent" is any player that is:
a) not you
b) not one of your teammates
But here's the entry from the comprehensive rules to back this up anyway:
102.2. In a two-player game, a player's opponent is the other player.
102.3. In a multiplayer game between teams, a player's teammates are the other players on his or her team, and the player's opponents are all players not on his or her team.

So today I was playing this edh game and one guy had a mana flare out, and another guy had a crypt ghastand 2 copies of it then drew this. Lets just say he won with an x=44.

At 7 mana and up, this is much stronger then mind funeral. But mind funeral is so much more mana efficient. As a side note, this card is amazing in multiplayer.

this card paired with Duskmantle Guildmage is a deadly combo. duskmantle guildmage says "1ub: whenever a card goes into an opponents graveyard from anywhere this turn that player loses 1 life.

Pair with Crypt Incursion. The life gain is nice, plus the milling and the creature removal combined. Golgari can eat it. Sanguine Bond seals it, although it's a bit expensive and it's a long combo. Still, it's sexy when it works.

Pro combo:
Play Realmwright, say all Islands are Swamps in addition to their other types, play Crypt Ghast, tap 1 island for the paying cost of Mind Grind and tap every other land you have for a sweet double-the-amount-of-land-that-you-have mill, which is usually 14-22 depending how late/early you play the spell.

So check it out, this is my dream wincon in EDH:
Mimeoplasm becomes a copy of Fertilid and exiles, let's say, a Consuming Aberration for 16 +1/+1 counters.
Have target poor sap search their library for all their basic lands and put all of them onto the field. "Thanks dude!"
Play that Mind Grind you've been saving all game for X = 4-10 after they totally annihilate the rest of the table, depending on how many nonbasic lands they're probably running and how long the game has gone on.
ROFL as your former ally shovels their whole library into the graveyard and DIES BAHAHAHAAH

This is a tough card to like, I think the only nice thing I can say is about the art. The effect feels generic and a bit lazy for an X spell. The bigger issue is how weak it is! I appreciate putting 'opponents' instead of 'target player', but the card is so weak it is practically useless. As others have said, Mind Funeral is really good mill. (Why didn't dimir get that? They have its effect as a whole theme) At one fourth the power for the same mana, and twice as costly for the same power, this card is never the better option. By the time you have a lot of mana, your opponent shouldn't have 10 lands in their deck. Here we have a card that is only powerful when it doesn't need to be.
I imagine this deck might be borderline playable in EDH. There are few mill spells that hit everyone, so I guess this does its job late-game? Even at 10 mana though, I don't know that I would feel good. I don't think this effect should be on an X costed card, the fun of mind funeral wa... (see all)
