Cheza, you need to learn a legal term: precedent. You seem to think it's worthless, but it's a very important factor in card design.

I agree with iUseBreakOpen here, by the time I have five mana I am looking for a mill card to actually kill my opponent. For five mana this can never (Excepting some out there situations) kill your opponent. If I made it to turn five and my opponent has more than the 28 cards in deck required for this to beat out Archive trap then I am really having a bad day anyway. For most of the time you can cast this, it is a dead draw.

Oh, it also loses points for being among the least fun spells in the game. Mill like Mind Funeral is suspenseful and fun as well as good. Archive trap can cause some big "woah"-ments when it triggers, but Traumatize will always be a counting game.

That said, it is decent self-mill and useful in Commander Mill (Say, Ambassador Laquatus?) so I'll give her 2/5

I have a question on this card, any help appreciated:

Say I have a Consuming Aberration out and play this. The Aberration's ability takes effect before the spell resolves; does the Traumatize's ability then check the number of cards in the opponent's library? Or is it the other way round? (This question could apply to other cards..Mind Sculpt etc?)

Very powerful card, surprisingly not good in a mill deck.
