Standard desperately needs a card like this, all the milling is getting so annoying.

My favorite Magic card of all-time.

I thought it was so much classier when the edition logo didn't indicate the rarity of the card. A little patch of gold or silver just looks vulgar on an elegant card like this.

Sparkle Tiger: I'd say this does much less damage to mill decks than all the creatures that this or nearly this ability. This does not forward you winning the game (though it's a great survival card.)
A deck of 30 Forests and 30 Gaea's Blessings will do much worse than a deck of 5x each Kozileks/Emrakuls/Ulamogs/Darksteel;Blightsteel Colossi/Progenitus and 30 Lotus Petals.
Is anyone else surprised (but pleasantly so) that neither Avacyn nor Griselbrand have that ability? Seemed like it was about to become 'the thing we put on all unkillable Mythic Monsters'. It nearly makes flavor sense on the Eldrazi, happened to debut on Colossus 1 so it had to be on Colossus 2....but Progenitus really doesn't need it. :/
But anyway, I'd 
that. ;)
I understand this card is good, but I dislike it for a different reason than 'hates mill'. I want Wizards in the future to make Anti Milling cards look more like Abundance- i.e. try not to make them so graveyard-interactive....you know....good with.... (see all)

Thank you Wizards, for printing another card that renders the "Mill" strategy completely impractical. Not that the strategy was anywhere near playable to begin with, but now it's been stamped with "FAIL" on its forehead. So much hate.

Seems like it would go really well with Crumbling Sanctuary
Woops that doesnt work the way I thought it would because the sanctuary exiles cards.

@sparkletiger Mill strategies actually work. All it takes is some planning ahead.

I used to keep a Legendary Eldrazi in my casual decks to counter my mill happy friend. I think now I'll pick up a copy to replace it. It's not completely better since once you draw it you can't discard it for its full effect and I'd certainly rather play the Eldrazi if I had the mana but it's so much more likely not to be a dead draw.

Question. If youre halfway through getting glimpsed and you flip one of these,does it activate mid-mill or after?

@patronofthesound:
You'd finish milling all ten cards first, as glimpse needs to carry out resolving and THEN this would get a chance to trigger.
