Actually decent for casual reanimator and such, better than the looters in some decks.

bhunji - You would still have to discard your hand. Grafted Skullcap makes you discard at the end step. Anvil just lifts the 7 card limit on hand size.

Pulls double duty in a Niv-Mizzet deck as both a Reliquary Tower and Howling Mine

If I play a Grafted Skullcap with this would I still have to discard my hand at end of turn? or would the Anvil prevent that?

From the comments, I understand that this somehow used to beat Necropotence, but doesn't anymore becaue of errata?

Is it because this was errata'd, or because Necropotence was errata'd? I like 'old, irrelevant' history like this, so I'm curious, even if I can't use it like that for real.

I'm also a designer of Original cards in MSE, and I was thinking if this used to stop Necropotence, is there a way to push that old interaction a bit farther, increase some mana costs, possibly increase some life costs, and just maybe make a FAIR Necropotence if it has the right artifact made alongside it?

(I'm partial to making Necropotence BlackBlackBlackBlackBlack. Any higher than 5cmc for this kind of thing and either you are making a card that won't be played, or you are printing an effect that isn't right at any cost. 'Fixed' Necropotence should cost a bit more than Phyrexian Obliterator. Yeah that sounds right.)

A nice sidekick to Howling Mine in multiplayer.

So, here's what I understand with these "You have no maximum hand size" cards:

Some of them are some kind of book or book-related item (Spellbook, Venser's Journal, Library of Leng, Minamo Scrollkeeper). The idea is that you can't remember more than 7 spells from your library, so you store some of that excess memory in or onto a book. That makes sense.

And then there's this. Some kind of machination. Sense: this makes.

works well with lilliana's caress or megrim. also can work well with ensnaring bridge in the right decks - like heavy discard.
