good card. I side board him for potential green players...oh the joy of their faces when a card like worldspine wurm or something bigger is revealed....

@thencomesdudley: Time Ebb is a sorcery, and this triggers during your upkeep. At best, Time Ebb can help you force big damage if you already know what's on top of their library. Griptide does what you want, but Dimir Charm is a better option.

@Jhyrryl: balls, you're right. For some reason I completely misread the rules text & thought it triggered at the beginning of EACH upkeep. Dimir Charm is a much better option; Griptide is way overcosted.

I am excited to see how he interacts with scry. It can go poorly if your opponent is scry heavy, but I want to see this guy work

This card is really underrated. I had him as the finisher in a Standard Aggro deck that played green for Strangleroot Geist, Young Wolf, and Rancor, and as soon as he hits the field either he eats removal or ends the game in a couple of turns. Definitely powerful, but easy to misuse and difficult to understand the power of without running him in a deck properly built for him. With all of the Scry cards coming with Theros (Thassa in particular), I anticipate that this guy will see at least some play.

thank god i didn't fall for it, it's now at 1,8$, maybe less
anyway, for the card, the drawing is the best part really

Amazing design for blue/black. It makes stacking your deck even more powerful (blue) and gives your sorcery speed discard spells power later in the game game (black). Definitely way better than if each player drew during their upkeep.
I love how it accomplishes being both blue and black while not having a stereotypical dimir ability. Not everyone who runs blue/black wants to be playing a mill deck. I also love how it extends the black mentality of "power at any cost" to affect your opponents as well. They have to scramble to make sure that cost doesnt kill them.
