Yeah, I'm fairly let down by this... I like it, it's just not as impressive as a guildchampion should be.
I've yet to figure out why Wizards hates Dimir so much...

So disappointing! He isn't technically strictly worse than Nemesis of Reason, but I don't know why you would ever want to play Mirko instead of Nemesis. With art as awesome as this I really wanted something good, or at least playable, but I don't think this is either one. The only time I would ever be happy to have one is in a draft.

I don't get it. Why is this guy legendary? "Hey guys, we need a flying miller for the set". What's legendary about it? It's not unique, it's not creative, it's not interesting. Not saying it's a bad card, but it's just so generic. It could has been as well a non-legendary uncommon.

If they made him pass the vanilla test, it wouldn't have been all that bad. A 4/4 for five in two colors would be fair, especially since damage and milling don't really compliment each other. All we have now is an expensive creature that forces the user into a mill strat.

Don't be hypocritical guys, this card sucks. It could have easily have had deathtouch, lifelink and intimidate. It's not a "repeatable mind funeral every turn" just because it's stats make it so terrible, and a five drop with 2 power is never going to get through. Would rather play Vampire Nighthawk. Dimir is so underpowered in the entire RtR block it's pathetic. What a shame Wizards...

i've played saboteur style decks for quite a while now (ciphersonic specifically) and i gotta say, this guy is really damn disappointing. maybe nice in draft as 40 cards is so damn easy to mill out, but c'mon people: you guys do know what else exists at 5 mana for U/B players? THESE GUYS:
Nemesis of Reason, Consuming Aberration, Ghastlord of Fugue
and here's why, in my opinion they are better picks for a 60-card casual deck than mirko.
1) NONE OF THEM ARE LEGENDARY.
2) only Ghastlord of Fugue requires hitting them to do anything and that one is UNBLOCKABLE with better stats.(specifically 4/4). a 5 mana 4/4 unblockable is already pretty good, but his ability to pick a card and permanently get rid of it adds a nice touch. it may not be mind funeral, but it is damn nice to know that cipher will be better for this guy than it will be for mirko.
3) Consuming Abberation only gets bigger with their graveyard, frequently bein... (see all)

How about when I attach all four of my Trepanation Blade and all four Illusionist's Bracers to Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker and attack an opponent. I then use each of my four Strionic Resonator, on each one of the Trepanation Blade.
That would be 4 land cards from Mirko Vosk, 4 for each of the four Bracers(for Mirko's ability),
1 land for each of the four Blades, and 1 for each of the four Resonators(for Blade's ability).
That comes to an opponent discarding 28 lands in a single turn, plus the +1+0 counters gained
on Mirko from the Blades and Resonators. Or there could be more lands discarded by targeting Mirko with the Resonators instead; an additional 12 lands. For a max total of 40 discarded lands! On top of that, you can target other opponents as well.
Perhaps someone could check the m... (see all)

Casual bomb. I love it. However sadly it marks a point where wizards is being open that standard mill is not going to see the light of day.

Limited bomb, but a letdown otherwise. Even grinding to four lands is rather underwhelming given that this is the guild champion...
