Am I missing something here? I don't see the greatness in this card. I see it as this:

"Skip your draw step

When you want to draw a card, pay 1 life, exile it until the next end step."

Seriously, what am I missing???

this is a card that beginning players see in the same light as channel: but i need my life...
besides, my tip for running this card: brush with death.

yep, for whenever you just wanna draw a bunch of cards and win the game.

I wouldn't feel right winning with this card though.

I know this card is good. I know it is one of the best ever made. I know that it was banned/restricted in most every format it was ever considered legal in. But, I have no idea how to use it. I'm no scrub, but I just ... don't understand how to use it. I mean, isn't Phyrexian Arena just as useful? Someone, please it explain it to me...

BlackAlbino: I'm wondering if we can blame the seemingly breakneck pace of modern-day tournament play. Having to pay a drawback could arguably mean being forced to slow down on some axis. This view, perhaps, was a reaction to how quickly things like Necropotence could find needed weaponry. If it's moving THAT quickly, you may not be able to afford the luxury of sacrificing vitality and/or cards! Now add in the more general, not-coupled-to-Necropotence's-power desire to be ultra-powerful...well, regardless of the net gain, many are going to see sacrificing and life payment as a reduction of power, compared to the possibility of never having to give anything up. I can't exactly say these combined conceits are conducive to a leisurely gaming experience. Of course, tournament play seems to have a low opinion of a leisurely pace...

The discard thing is a triggered ability. You can use the instant-speed Reanimate to recover a creature before it gets exiled.

This art is sweet as hell.
