Knowledge Pool.
Also Hive Mind, Eye of the Storm, and Wild Evocation. And Warp World. And....
It wins by being so insane, that when I asked Rules Manager Matt Tabak how it worked, he said
Mindbreak Trap.
If you're opponent doesn't have Mindbreak Trap, then not even the Rules Manager can save them from KNOWLEDGE POOL+ MIND'S DESIRE!!!!

So it is pretty much "Play the spell on the top of your (shuffled) deck for free, repeat via Storm." That is...amazing. Pretty high cost, so storming could be a bit difficult, but it could be worked around. Damn that's nice.

I'd insist that my opponent shuffled their deck for each storm. By the time it's finished, their deck will have disintegrated by the sheer mount of shuffling.

Hey Orggkillah, you would really like this card to cast stuff for free and uncounterable? Cool, let's put in Emrakul for a free Time Walk, or any other cast ability. Cool choice there. You'll still get ETB abilities, and more storm count too, so that's just amazing.

This not the broken storm card. Brain Freeze is broken. I played a guy once who used affinity for artifacts such as Ornithopter, Frogmite and Myr Enforcer combined with Cranial Plating, Glimpse of Nature and Thoughtcast to draw an unnecessary amount of cards, play them for nothing and hit you with a Brain Freeze to mill you for 40 cards. Was seriously unexpected.

Reading this card for the first time, I'm sure pretty much ALL of us had the exact same thought process:
"Six CMC and blue? LOL, how many extra turns does this give me?
...
Wait, I get to maybecast one spell?
For six mana?
Trash rare.
...
Wait, what's that?
...
wut."

Mill_Master, I have a friend who's artifact deck could pull off an infinite mill combo with Brain Freeze by turn two on a good day. Disgusting, but awesome to watch.

I use it with a bunch of seemingly useless artifacts that cost 0 to begin a time loop with Timestretch and Reminisce. I take turn after turn until I can pile 20 counters on the Darksteel Reactor. Its pretty boring for your opponent though.
