For those unaware, trepanation is an ancient surgical technique that bored a hole in someone's skull. The early idea was that it would let evil spirits out of the head. Then it was to "let pressure off the brain", or various other justifications for the archaic "medical" technique.
Fossilized skulls have been found with signs of healing around the area, so not only did people survive, this procedure has been around for a LONG time.
And is anyone else thinking that this card's art wouldn't be out of place in Esper as some sort of Etherium Sword?

This card is not bad. Of course, you might get unlucky and hit a land instantly, but you can also get lucky and mill six or more cards and swing for massive damage. I've milled people for upwards of 27 cards with Mind Funeral - that amounts to an average of ~7 cards per land.
If nothing else, I value the "critical strike"-feeling of this card. Randomness and variation always make for fun games.

My favorite thing is that it griefs land drops.

Saw this at the prerelease. Guy managed to turn a 1/1 into 19/1.

Sure, if you base it on just the average power bonus, it's not that great. However, the biggest bonus that the card provides is making it that much harder for your opponent to hit their land drops. If you can just get a one or two land advantage over them, it can make a big difference. This equipped to Doomed Travelerwas my prerelease MVP. A great Limited bomb.
