If you find a way to get infinite mana (not that hard in the current standard) it can be used as a finisher for mill. Use it on an opponent during your turn, and then you won't have to worry about those pesky eldrazi.

Guys, come on. It's a Braingeyser at Instant speed for {U} more. Wasn't the Geyser considered crazy good in its format? It was the centerpiece of its own infinite mill combo, and the Zenith has the same potential at instant speed.
I don't think this is being treated fairly. Don't draw yourself cards all the time with it! Fill your hand when you need to, and destroy your opponent the rest of the time. I could see it run this way in mono-{U} Myr. Set up the engine, and churn this out do give your opponent his or her library, then make them draw that one extra to seal their fate.
I'll provide a decklist soon, Block-Legal only. Someone test it out, and we'll see what's what.

You can use it with quite a degree of versitility; drawing cards when your hand is starting to run dry, or forcing your opponent to draw when their hand is nearly full (or just full), and forcing them to discard. For that reasons, it combos well with Sangromancer and possibly Consecrated Sphinx (the latter forcing your opponent to draw a few cards and thus allowing you to draw twice that number for a low mana cost.

Seriously guys... It's instant draw that gets shuffled back in... That is definately worth the extra U in my opinion. This card is good for decks that can muster up a lot of mana. Probably causes tempo issues with your typical blue deck. I'll give this a solid 4/5.

People give this card crap.. but you'll still play it. ESPECIALLY once Jace rotates out.

red sun's zenith is so much better. if you have enough mana to use blue sun's you might as well be looking to end the game. Not to procrastinate by getting more cards. I don't care if it is a blue deck and you need a full hand. Run that hand out and win the game with your bundles of mana that you have to waste on a card like this.

High Tide-Reset combo players in Legacy have been sleepy-eyed and lethargic for a while. This woke 'em up.
