Generates card advantage, helps reach threshold, and has great art. What's not to love? 4.5/5

Very handy card in landfall decks to get some lands.
The fact it dumps the rest into the graveyard makes this card a combo-enabler for B/G reanimation decks.

It's not really a double-edged sword, statistically speaking (with some fringe exceptions... more on that later*).
It's true that sometimes you really want to see card X (or more likely, card X or card Y or card Z), and Mulch forces you to discard it. Well, that sucks. But played out over enough games, you'll be just as likely for Mulch to get card X/Y/Z out faster as you are to have it take longer. It doesn't always seem that way, because it's a lot easier to notice when Mulch discards the card you needed than it is to notice that Mulch got you four cards closer to the card you needed. Average out how much it's slowed you down by passing a key card vs. how many times it's gotten you one sooner, and it will almost always come out to 50/50 or thereabouts. (Same is true for being milled, but that doesn't stop people who don't quite get it from saying it's overpowered because it can get rid of your good cards.)
Now, that's not enough to warrant paying {1}{G} at sorcery speed... (see all)

It's a win-win. a WIN-WIN.

Well if you're short of lands this will get you some faster (hopefully) but it can also result in sending some good cards to your graveyard. It's kind of double-edged, 3/5.
