What is there to say? Cheap card-draw, filtering, flashback/madness/unearth/threshold enabling in RED. It may not a rare or a mythic, but this is the card I want the most from DKA. Then again, as a pauper player I only want commons (which only makes this card all that much sweeter).

t1) Mountain, Faithless Looting (discard Worldgorger Dragon and something else)
t2) Swamp, Animate Dead, Comet Storm for the win.
Now to go find a format where that's legal (vintage, casual, and EDH FTW).
EDIT: I guess there was already
t1) Swamp, Entomb/Putrid Imp
t2) Mountain, Animate Dead, Comet Storm
but the more ways to do it, the better. Or worse, if you play with people who like to have fun.
@Salient "red Tendrils of Agony"
You mean Grapeshot and Dragonstorm?

Card advantage is one of those things that's solid as a concept, but shouldn't guide every single decision or card choice. In addition to all the flashback/grave synergy cards mentioned throughout, there's also the late-game possibility of going through four cards in your deck to find exactly what you need to finish the job. Especially in limited.

This card is absolutely insane for reanimator strategies and any deck running Past In Flames. Anybody who rates this lowly has simply never played with Careful Study.

Properly Faithless Looting is nigh impossible; to loot a church involves the involvement of places of faith existing to loot from, while looting anywhere BUT a church is being respectful to faith's boundaries.
...what on earth am I talking about? A bit smiliar to Desperate Ravings to my taste (I know its not very similar, but red does other things other than draw and discard), but is flavourful and efficient!

apparantly, this card is card disadvantage. You know, actually, I'm cool with that.
'Drawing cards' is the kind of effect all the colors should have-- actual 'card advantage' though, is something Red should still be weak at. This is a clever little card that lets Red use it for some somewhat specific things- it's good if you are trying to 'fake Entomb', but not good if you are trying to 'fake Ponder', or even 'fake Careful Study' (Gako is quite right. Careful Study is blue. That counts.)

Wizards must want combo to be the red's domain. We've had a steady supply of red mana acceleration over the years -- Simian Spirit Guide, Manamorphose, Seething Song, Rite of Flame, Braid of Fire, Geosurge... and now we have a pretty powerful blue effect in red with Faithless Looting, and the new Yawgmoth's Will (which is astonishingly better than Yawgmoth's Will for only 
cc more).
Awesome. All we need now is a red Tendrils of Agony.
