It wouldn't be prudent to say that this is the very best land in magic next to the tolarian academy and mishra's workshop.
Card advantage for any color that also provides mana. And it's not even legendary. What on earth...
Of course, it might as well be, since it's banned and restricted everywhere.

My favorite land of all time. I just wish I could play it in EDH. Or any format really. Well, I wish that I owned it. That 150-200 dollar pricetag is most of the reason I don't. But yeah. Love it.
Wins games.
5/5

One of the most fun magic cards ever; super with Time-Twister or Wheel of Fortune. One can tap it in the upkeep if seven cards are already in hand or after the draw if that gets it to seven. Play two cards a turn until the 'Twister or Wheel shows up then drop the whole hand, re-load, and start over!

One of the best cards ever printed. Having this in your starting hand -- or drawing it on your second turn or so -- will usually guarantee victory. The only drawback is that it's somewhat useless if you draw it very late in the game with an empty hand; but it's still outrageously good.
Blue counter / control decks running this used to be terrifying or white one-for-one removal decks using this used to be terrifying; just run it with any sort of one-for-one cards and you'll win eventually.
Or run with Ivory Tower for massive lifegain at the same time, too. Not that this card needs it -- combos well with Magic cards.

I'm with you, bijart_dauth. I see how this can be pretty powerful, but I certainly don't think it's Power 10 material.
But then, I've never seen this is play.
I just think the card-drawing is too fragile. What if someone plays Skullcage or Ebony Owl Netsuke? Both of those would either kill the card advantage or kill the player.
Don't strip me of my right to play Magic over this, I just don't see how this is the most powerful card outside the Power Nine.

"10/4/2004 You may tap multiples of these in response to each other because the requirement for 7 cards is checked only at the time the ability is announced and not again when it resolves.
yeah, too bad it's restricted in every format it isn't banned in..."
Vesuva and Thespian's Stage would like to speak with you.
