The problem is, outside of a niche Dredge, milling, or possible Innistrad graveyard deck, this card won't become an Ancestral Recall until the late-late game, making it niche at best, and a 1-mana Cycling card/waste of a rare slot at worst.
I don't like it. It needs far too much work to power it up.
2.5/5

(WotC employee 1): So... How about reprinting Ancestral Recall?
(WotC employee 2): Oh yeah. Genius, Rick. Yeah, then we'll just reprint Sengir Vampire and Volcanic Dragon and make them uncommon.
(WotC employee 1): Uhh... we already did that... for the newest set.
(WotC employee 2): What?! Seriously?! Oh ok fine. But change it's name and give it some minorly difficult circmstance to achieve before that happens.
And that's how Visions of Beyond was made.

MIll is no threat with the eldrazi lords. However when RoE cycles, mill becomes more scary. 20 cards is not that hard to do. Also im hating to see Bojuka Bogs go as well.

This is not ancestral recall for mill or for dredge. This is just ancestral recall. if you use it, you can make it work.

This card doesn't need to be in a Mill deck to be strong. For a control deck it's common to cast spells constantly, your own graveyard would fill up in no time for you to play this card at full power.
