First game I ever played this in my mill deck. I sat at 3 life and the opponent had 35. I hit him once with this and milled him out completely.

Punishes players for running 4-ofs in their decks. Not only does it mill, but as a 1/5 (with flying nonetheless!) it can make for a pretty efficient blocker too! Also exiling is much better than just putting the cards into the players graveyard (see Nemisis of Reason for that ability) since there are several deck strategies that benefire from cards being in the graveyard, most notably is reanimation decks. Also exiling the cards completely nerfs most anti-mill cards such as Emrakul, The Aeons Torn and Elixir of Immortality.

(refering to nubiop's comment) with the same ability it wouldn't really do that much, i guess you rather meant something like
"If Scalpelexis is attacking and unblocked, you may have defending player remove the top four cards of his or her library from the game. If (...)"
It's also quite useful against a Relentless Rats-related deck^^

if a player is running a land heavy deck this can be an absolute killer. I would have preferred it to be an 0/6 flyer with vigilance with the same ability
