Have a mill deck based on this and traumatize, the rest is mostly removal, scry and tutors. Haven't tested it yet, but love the idea of destroying not the body of your opponent, but their mind. Milling isn't lame, it's sophisticated and unusual, unless you use jace.

R+D a decade ago: Sure black might have land destruction and discard, but mill is definitely blue.
Then they printed this.

when played in the right place, at the right time, this card is devastating.

Follow up a traumatize with this.

love this, milling just became so much easier. Thank you WotC! it's like a uber version of long forgotten Quash.

Dear God this thing is brutal.
Let the guy play a few good cards, or just make him discard his hand and then gut his deck.
I dont know who comes up with the ideas for these kinds of cards.

I love this card. Use it with a Mill deck and Time Reversal!

InternetNinjacy, I will partially agree with you. I too dislike the players that use the Traumatize type cards, comboed with this. Decks like that require little to no creativity, skill and induviduality. On the other hand, I enjoy cards that mill with a subtle grace, cards like Sadistic Sacrement (I know thats not exactly Mill but it encompases all the things I feel Mill should be.) I enjoy milling to the extent that my opponent knows he has a very limited clock to beat me before he runs out of draws, and then I unleash my weapon of choice on his graveyard; Wrexial, The Risen Deep. Now a deck that uses that strategy requires finess and skill to play. If you want more of my opinions on milling, check my comment posted on Traumatize.

@InternetNinjacy - Stop crying about it. Mill is probably one of the weaker win conditions right now anyway. Consider how fast agro is currently and access to cards such as Emrakul, the Aeons Torn that will completely undo everything a mill deck does.
@NecroticNobody - Sadistic Sacrament is alright in mill when you use it early. I'd only use it in order to get rid of effects that I don't want to see, like mass recursion or things like Vengevine and Bloodghast that are better in a graveyard than the hand. Then again, if you have the mana to kick Sad Sac you should have played this already.
@Cheza - No, it shouldn't. I'd agree with you if it was a counterspell, but it isn't.
