In my MTGO Laboratory Maniac self-mill, this is the card that causes the most concessions. Thanks, Wizards!

The thing about a self-mill deck is that you spend a huge part of the game developing your own side of the board, and very little disrupting your opponent's side. By the time you've milled enough to get a huge Splinterfright or Boneyard Wurm or Ghoultree out there, they've usually beaten you down for enough damage to put you in the danger zone of losing the game.
This card is the perfect way to gain back all of that lost tempo, and then some. Any proper self-miller will be able to net 16 or 20 life each time one of these things is cast, and then flashback it again. The fact that this thing has flashback in the first place is brilliant design because it allows a self-miller to use it even if it gets run over in the process of milling. Odds are, you'll have one of these things in your hand or graveyard by the midgame, and odds are you'll be thankful.

Now THIS! is an EDH-playable common.
Great job, wizards.
