This is still bad for Casual or EDH! For seven mana, you could play something like Blatant Thievery and immediately take charge of the board. But with this, you're bound to one activation per turn, and you're only attacking life totals. On top of that, you are attacking them with a random value. Sure, you could try and manipulate the top card of your library, but the rewards are still minimal. The best you can do is still only 16 in one shot, and that requires the inclusion of often-dead cards in your deck. Maybe if you got to Scry before the activation, and then only maybe would I even try to play this in EDH or Multiplayer. I've had others play this against me, and it always seems like too little, too late.

Overcosted, as half the color chart has cheap ways of dealing with this, and the other half has probably already killed you, and there's a 33% chance it does nothing. Funny flavor text though.

@scumbling
It shines most in team games, like two-headed, three-headed, or Archenemy. I've also found it nice with ramp spells and Oracle of Mul-daya, since you are very unlikely to hit land on the trigger. By no means incredibly powerful, but similarly, not at all "bad."

I wish it put the revealed card into my hand. Oh well, I'll just fill my deck with snow swamps and use Scrying Sheets to keep the top of my deck something big.

have Necropotence in play,
use Lilliana Vess to tutor up a big cost card on top of your library,
then just don't pull any more cards from Necro and burn the table for a few turns in a row

Fun, powerful, but not broken.
I want more cards like this.

I love to pick op the top card so only I can see it, crack a grim smile, then state the flavor text.

Built a deck on TCGPlayer around this. Too bad I can't play it.

I give it four stars just for the Archenemy format.
