If you put this card into your Limited deck, you've already lost and should just quit and return home. Yes, it truly is that bad of a card. This will never see play in Limited nor Standard nor any other Format. This may very well be the worst card to come out of Avacyn Restored.

Way too slow and expensive. Would be reasonable, yet still mediocre if it said twice the number of lands. Not enough milling options in triple AVR to make this good, really.

I lost a sealed match when I had 89 life to this.

EDH anyone? If you're using a gravefeeder deck like say, Mimeoplasm or Sedris, this can be useful. Milling for as much as (or more than) Glimpse the Unthinkable in one card is pretty good there, and the mana cost is a lot less relevant. Well at least if you're playing a Timmy/Johnny friendly EDH game.
Overall it's OK. Not a good pick in draft, unless say you combo it with Vanishment.

This would have been fine in a draft, except for the fact that there are 3 mill cards in Avacyn Restored: this, Rotcrown Ghoul and Stern Mentor.
So, you'd have to rely on having a lot of stopping and controlling power in your deck so you could mill for 12 or something.
Although, mind you, if you did mill for 10 or so, that'd be like dealing 7-8 damage. In fact, that'd be better: there are no cards that shuffle your graveyard into your library, which would mean that it's almost uncounterable and unstoppable.
No wonder there are no mill cards in Avacyn Restored

I personally think this card is a tad underrated. I run it in a blue green ramp deck as an amusing win condition. (I also run a terraformer and world fire in the deck so one would be understood if they questioned what I considered amusing.
Still nothing quite beats the feeling of dropping two dreadwaters for 25 on turn 7. Not the fastest win, but definitely one of the most fun I know of.

I think it's silly how this is only common I think this should be mythic rare when compared to sphinx's revelation dreadwaters is better in my opinion. I have a dreadwaters in my depletion deck and it grants more effect and use than sphinx's revelation in my blue and white flight deck. Sphinx's revelation doesn't let you get much health and even though you might think health is good, you still need to draw that many cards which really brings the card down. There are not many depletion decks that are decent that I've Seen but this really helps in them. I would rate this a 5 out of 5 because this only takes 4 mana total to cast.
