Cheap removal and more fair ( and interesting) than Path.

If the eldrazi is going to show up again in two turns, why does the art have its head exploding?
excellent card for control though.

in early game this is way better then Path since u don't want your oppponent to have a mana advantage. It also stalls his drawing which is good too. Late game path will be better most of the time

At first, I thought this was strictly worse than Path to Exile. I then read it over a couple of times, and started to think of a few things I could do with it. I then played with it in a deck, and I found out how much I like it. Path is sometimes better, but so is this, and its not crazy broken like path is. Also, in limited, this is extremely useful. Your opponent will often sac a ton of Spawn in order to get something big out, and as long as that thing is not Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, you can create partial card disadvantage by making draw a card that they won't be able to play for several turns. It also nullifies all the progress that your opponents levelers have made. In short, not the best card in the world, but a smart, balanced card, and lots of fun.

I love this with Tome Scour and Rise from the Grave. Did I mention I also like milling myself and playing stuff from my graveyard? A tad auto-erotic perhaps...
I usually need at least two reasons to play mill (not just milling for the win -it aint really my style), but if I can bounce a creature to my opponent's library for 1 mana, then send it to the graveyard along with 4 other cards for 1 more mana, that is pretty satisfying!

Path to Exile is better in my opinion. At least the creature is gone forever until a Riftsweeper comes in.

"is there a point on an eldrazi's head where- if you shoot it- it will blow up?"

Goin' in my W/B Needlebite trap deck. Along with Condemn. Way better flavor text and art here, though.

Have people tested playing this card? It seems way better than people give it credit for. It should be instant, yes, but other than that, it removes a threat for three turns and slows their tempo forcing them to draw it again. Still, I just wish it was instant.
