I love how its now the best 6 drop in standard which explains how it went from $4 to a $10+ over time.

Consecrated Sphinx + Forced Fruition + Thought reflection.
Throw in a Psychosis crawler for the win.
Literally.
Mindcrank for the Cherry.

This card is on par with Rhystic Study in terms of the sheer number of cards you can wind up drawing each turn, especially in multiplayer games. It doesn't seem like it at first, but man do you start drawing quickly once you really pay attention to how many random cantrips and such are included in commonly used cards.
I have this in a deck alongside a few Library of Leng and Ivory Towers. Generally once this guy comes out my hand size gets up to around 30-ish very quickly, and I'm gaining 26+ life per turn.

@Lyoncet
Not quite. Having two conescrated sphinx's out screws around with the stack a lot due to the way the game sees drawing multiple cards.

I remember when this first came out and people were hardly giving it a second glance.
Interesting how tunes change.

Someone mentioned playing this with Jace, Memory Adept to draw 40 cards with his ultimate. How about you play Jace's Erasure as well and have your opponent discard his deck while you draw 60 cards. (Via Platinum Angel or something).
Sorry if the links are messed up, new to this.

My opponent, playing a very expensive U/B control in casual multiplayer forgot I had this and attempted to brainstorm with Jace, the Mind Sculptor. I drew 6 cards. Everyone else at the table then focused on me and killed me, but it was WORTH it.
