It's more expensive than Howling Mine, and isn't tappable to prevent your opponent from drawing, but in return, you don't lose card advantage the turn after you summon it? Not bad. It'll still help decks that need to draw lots, just like any other draw engine.

I cannot be the first person to mention that this will instant win the game if you have a Mind Over Matter in play and a Mythic Eldrazi in your deck or a Feldon's Cane in play??

It's nice that you get dibs on this as opposed to Howling Mine, but what's also nice is that you can tap and use it in response to your opponent's actions, perhaps drawing a counter or removal spell that you need.

I find that this card really plays nice with Liliana Vess. Your opponent doesn't have any cards to discard? Tap, now he/she does! Need that card you are tutoring for right now? Tap, take it!
Helped me come in second place at the prerelease draft, those two did.

better and worse than Jace 1.0 in that you can have 2 or more bells on the field but you don't have a damage sponge/ ultimate.

That Sphinx just made this a whole lot more useful... Also, Chains of Mephistopheles just makes both players discard a card before the draw, or mill one if they have no cards in hand.

In my playgroup, we've all come to refer to abilities similar to Temple Bell (i.e. Jace Beleren, Otherworld Atlas, etc.) as "Taco Bell."
For example:
"I play Jace Beleren; everybody Taco Bell." (Each player draws a card.)
It even works when each player draws let's say. . . 12 cards:
"I play Skyscribing for 12; everybody gets a Taco 12-Pack." (Each player draws 12 cards.)

with the tap ability and the key in standard this is better than howling mine by quite a bit i'd wager
