This card has just spawned a new modern combo deck.

This + Glimpse of the Unthinkable, the milling is going to get out of hand. A few Damnation to keep the field clean, most opponents won't have a way to kill you before you drain his/her library.

I actually like this as being copies 5 - 8 of Glimpse the Unthinkable rather than a straight reprint. It gives mill decks the ability to sit closer to burn in play style.
4 Glimpse
4 Tome Scour
4 Mind Sculpt
4 This
4 Surgical Extraction
4 Thought Scour
4 Mind Funeral
4 Hedron Crab
4 Jace's Phantasm
2 Wight of Precinct Six
Mind Funeral is the only card here that costs more than two, you average 7ish milled a card. A deck has 53 cards to start, you will generally have milled an opponent by the time you've cast 8 cards. Not as fast as a burn deck, but a well placed Surgical Extraction can stumble an opponent enough to make the difference. Honestly, it'd be nice to have more cards like Breaking printed. If there were a reasonable replacement for Mind Funeral, aggro mill would probably see some play.

Am I the only person who's getting excited at the idea of using this fused to reanimate Emrakul, the Aeons Torn? I can't be, right? I mean, since it resolves as a single spell, you get to mill 8 cards and then reanimate IMMEDIATELY when you hit him, before the trigger even goes on the stack. With some library manipulation (Long-Term Plans at opponent's EOT anyone?) this effectively allows you to get Emrakul onto the battlefield for 8. I realise there are easier ways to do this, but the idea of reanimating Emrakul is just too exciting to me. And of course, the all-important haste that allows you to swing for 15 could easily be game-ending.

Love that "Entering" doesn't target. And grants haste. Wow. Definitely worth the 6 mana.
On the other hand Breaking is fantastic too. It's almost glimpse the unthinkable and if you have enough for the fuse you're really golden.

I had hoped the second half would be "Bad".

I wonder if someone would allow me to play this for 4UB if I showed them this 'Errata' lol
Also, I wonder if these cards are hints to the 'Secret Guild Allies' or if this is just how the split cards got distributed.
4/5 Stars
