this card is honestly pretty scary.

Hey, they forgot to errata "deck" to "library" here.
EDIT: Wait, nope, nevermind. Deck means every card you brought to the game, library is just what you draw from during the game. Don't mind me.
EDITEDIT: Derp derp, it was always called a library, wasn't it?

Pff. If I was playing for ante this card would be the least of my worries. Watching my opponent pay six mana to basically exile the top card of my library, essentially. How many games have you won when you were doing things like that with your mana?
Granted, you can probably find some sort of loop with Contract From Below and Black lotus and Lions' eye diamond, giving you enough mana to use this guy and still win. I guess that's the real reason we don't play ante anymore.

Homelands: Even the ante cards are underpowered!

I love the art. Too bad it's an ante card so it will never get a reprint -- but they could reuse these guys somewhere else.
@LordRandomness: you'd have to convince your opponents that you're allowed to bring a deck below minimum size to the game because you just had to remove them. I wouldn't fall for it... Ante cards have always been banned in tournaments (even though playing for ante was allowed, oddly enough), so the issue of minimum deck size has always been moot there.

If anyone wants to play you for ante, and they have this and Followed Footsteps (or even Dance of Many) in their deck, just walk away. Token Creature copies of this card are zero-risk, sanctioned-by-the-rules license to steal. Sure, the opponent who is giving up an artifact or tossing another card on the ante gets ownership of the token creature in exchange, but that token immediately goes to their graveyard where it evaporates.

One way of jacking a black lotus.

Awful, just awful. All it reads, basically, is "Steal target Mox, forever"... and it doesn't even do that particularly well. One of the best examples of why ante was a terrible idea.

Congratulations!
You are right, and all those people who don't play this game for ante are sissies who just aren't Man enough to play this game the way it was played eighteen years ago. It can't just be that they simply enjoy other methods of play, depending on the situation (possibly including Ante, when consented to by all players), because there is only one right way to play the game, and that's your way. And only wusses would ever mulligan, or let an opponent mulligan, because the only acceptable way to play this game of strategy is to gamble on the games, and then allow chance to skew the results to an irrecoverable degree. Anyone who has any opinion other than this single view is clearly inferior.
While we're at it, lets do away with those silly ban lists, restricted lists, the increased minimum deck size, and most certainly that four-copies-per-card limit. Constructed deck restrictions aren't what Magic is... (see all)
