For modern, don't even think about Leveler unless it's in addition to Mirror of Fate. Mirror of Fate does the same thing, but it can trigger whenever you want. And doesn't cost $5.00. Literally the only thing I can think of that Leveler has going for it is that you can use a creature tutor on it. But you're already playing blue; how hard is it to tutor out an artifact in blue? (Hint: it's not.)
And the vulnerability is a huge deal, too. The combo is so dangerous that if you lose one piece before it resolves, you don't just wait another turn; you lose. If you buy a Leveler and auto-exile your graveyard, then your Laboratory Maniac gets hit with Doom Blade/DoJ/Oblivion Ring/Shock before you can get your next draw, it's game over. If you cast Mirror of Fate, you can either wait u... (see all)

Any card that can spawn so many new deck ideas on its own deserves a 5\5/

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and Curiosity/Ophidian Eye wasn't necessarily an instant win before...

This could be nice with Ertai's Familiar.. that's 3 cards every other turn.
Throw in a couple Golgari Grave-Trolls too. Dredge 6.

First: it's a 2/2 on the curve.
Second: There are a lot of ways to mill yourself to death. Mirror-mad phantasm is method #1. If you have a half-decent tutor and one copy of him, you should be able to mill yourself to nothing in a few turns.

Every body keeps talking about milling themselves. This guy says if you would draw a card... So use one those many infinite draw combos out there and win instantly. My BG EDH use to run out of cards cause I drew them all. Not any more, now instead of running out I win!

The day after this card was spoiled, Leveler went from a 20-cent junk rare to a 6-dollar Modern staple.
