I have two of these in a UB deck paired with Haunting Echoes. Not the best combo but when it drops, the curses are very colorful from your opponent. Definitely one of the best mill cards to date.

One of the best mill cards I have ever seen and, mostly in Zendikar, it really makes anyplayer who is facing a Blue deck think twice about searching their deck for cards.
4.5.

this card is just plain ridiculous. I mean mill in general is just far too damn good now what with tomb scour and hedron crab and everything else but this card is just all kinds of absurd.
I mean come on seriously playing it for free if your opponent searched their library in a land-centered block where everyone is going to try to run harrow or the sac lands? You could run 4 of these in any deck as an alt win condition because you can play it for free.

I would love it if the line read "If any opponent searches any library this turn,..." because it would nail those guys that use haunting echoes, grinning totem, and jester's cap.

The only problem with this card is that it tends to be a one-trick pony. Once the enemy have been beaten by it, they probably won't fall for the same trick twice, even if it means losing the benefit of Path to Exile. Mill decks tend to be creature light anyway, so they can afford to stall most of the time by not putting out creatures and not searching for lands. What Worldwake needs to bring is a forced search by the opponent, and then mill decks will be truly viable. That said, decks that use abundant fetchlands (like some Zoo decks) tend to get hammered by this card no matter how they play.

this card loves fetch lands. couple that with echo mage at max level and cast through time for more goodness.

Easily better than Traumatize, for lots of reasons: 1) it's an instant, 2) the conditional trigger for 0 cost is ridiculously common, 3) it always gets 13 cards (whereas Traumatize becomes less effective with each casting), and 4) it can reduce the size of a library to 0 (whereas Traumatize will always leave at least 1 card).

I'm genuinely happy that the new Eldrazis let you shuffle your entire graveyard into your deck.
Shuts down mill cards like these fast.
5/5 for 1 turn win situation.
