It's my opinion that I'm not as dumb as this card is making me feel. That said, I definately do not blame the card or the creator(s) of it & unfortunately, the revelation of the stated opinion in which was self proclaimed does not even come close to scratching the surface on justifying the fact that after 18 yrs of learning magic, I should understand this card completely & I do not. I do however, get the rules of it. Now, who can tell me why I would want to put this card in my deck & supposing I agree, what the drawbacks are? Lamens terms preferred :) (please & thank you).

So, what happens if there are two of these in play? If I play a spell, does each Knowledge Pool resolve and allow me to play a spell exiled with each Knowledge Pool for the exchange of my one spell?

I've been playing magic for years but have no clue how to use this thing without my opponent using my own weapon against me to put my lights out. Any useful suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Aside from that, one of the more interesting and unusual cards ever printed and for that I'll give it a 4.

How about this with lots of cheap instants your opponent casts huge monster it gets imprinted I cast instant spell I get huge monster for cheap.. I.E its basically control on a monsterous scale... you could also add some bouncy fun and play your turn with your oppents

Just occurred to me that a bunch of the standard vampires got negative effects that could be given to the opponent.
Personally, I play casual so I plan on exploiting the Kamigawa Oni/Ogre cards that I originally had in my Avarice Token deck. Those cards bite to anyone not playing around them.

@Leonin_Kha_Cameron; Speaking of Eye of the Storm, what would happen if you had both this and EotS on the field at the same time, and played an instant? The only solution I could think of is ripping each instant/sorcery in half as you played them.
... Guess that's why they don't print cards like that in the same block.

Can anyone tell me how this would work with a card with x in the casting cost like White sun's zenith
I'd assume X cost is zero...

@jstorrie
As great as that would be your opponent can take those as well. All they need to do is cast something from their hand. Hope you have some cheap spells!
@TheGreatJman
X cannot be paid if the spell is cast without paying the mana cost.
@Carkki
You'll be the one thinking it's annoying when your opponent uses your own cards against you.

I played against a knowledge pool deck and its havoc for control but aggro can make their ground quick before this weid entity resolves
