Great card against those opponents that like to run light on the land cards in their deck. On the day we played drafts with the Alara Reborn boosters one guy got 3 of these, and sure enough he killed in the games, in the game I played against him, he took out about 15 of my cards before 4 lands came up. I said right then and there that I've got to get a playset of those, and now after going through an entire Alara Reborn Booster box, I've managed to scrape together 4 of them.

I cringe every time I see somebody commenting that milling 4 lands is in any way disruptive of your opponent's tempo, or "like land destruction." It is in no way the case. Milling cards from the library to the graveyard feels like you are getting rid of those cards, but you are not. It is statistically irrelevant and meaningless. Unless you got rid of their last 4 lands, your opponent will basically be just as likely to draw another land as they are to draw a spell, since what you dumped into the grave will roughly be the same ratio as what is in the library. The same goes for any given spell. The likelihood of card X being on top of your opponent's library is exactly the same as card X being 10 cards down and drawing it after you mill them.

I had the joy of running this and having the mana to hit my opponent with this and Twincast right after using a Traumatize. He was left with 3 cards. All it took from there was a bit of tapping from Cathartic adepts. This card is mean since it's one of the few mill cards that hunt lands specifically.

This has got to be the sickest mill card ive ever seen. Seriously wipes out green decks after the've manna accelerted for a few turns since they don't have many land cards left. Use with Tome Scour(M10), Lich Lord of Unx, Barbed Shocker, Nemesis of Reason, a few Memory Erosions, and maybe even Jace Beleren and you have a pretty mean and cheap to play mill deck. I love p***ing off people with this card. :D

Gummi heads!
A good, fun card, but it'd be nice if it wasn't so expensive. Here's hoping for a reprint.
With the same art, of course.

I LOVE THIS CARD!!! Perfect for my deck, based around discarding, then taking from opponent's libraries. IT'S A BLUE-BLACK MIRACLE!!!!!

absolulty incredible! reminds me of the ravnica black blue cards. especially good with Dimir Doppelganger the cards in reborn are powerful but i dont think you can make a good deck with just reborn cards.
