Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's emblem and this card equals self draw, extremely annoying ETB creatures, and limitless mill. Now mix this combo with Omniscience...

The cheapest colorless free sac-outlet I could find. While milling is fairly useless, sometimes you need on-the-cheap saccing; and there are not many options.

Infinite Mill+Lifegain turn three in Monogreen? If I didn't know better I'd call broken.

Milling is hardly useless. If you think it is useless, try Spawning Pit. Same CMC, it's a sac outlet, and does something other than mill. It's also like 50 cents instead 5 bucks.
This card is awesome. I have it in my mimeoplasm EDH deck because it is an amazing sac outlet. You can use it on yourself to find your juicy targets, or on an opponent to both bring them closer to death, and to get some targets out of their graveyard. Self-mill can be dangerous because it's a form of overextending.

Played an EDH game once where a guy had this out along with two 41/41 Consuming Aberrations (original and a token) and an Undead Alchemist. Somebody tried to swords one of the Aberrations. Lulz ensued.

With Undead Alchemist and a mill spell to start the snowball, this will pretty much mill a creature heavy deck through. Geralf's Mindcrusher can mill 21 cards with this alone, doubt you even need another combo piece for that.

Turns phyrexian dreadnaught into a 1 colorless 12 mill spell.

I run this as an alternate win condition in my mono-green saproling deck that floods the board early with Spontaneous Generation, Parallel Lives, Collective Unconsciousness, Coat of Arms and Saproling Cluster with a few other one ofs to create extremely large creatures. Every now and then I get hosed by a Moat-like effect or mass destruction, and this card is the answer to those strategies.
Fun and powerful casual card from one of my favorite sets.
