Calling it now, this will be a sleeper hit in the set. not because it'll see play in standard, not even because of EDH implications. it's because casual players love mill and this has the potential to mill a lot.

The weak version of Mind Funeral.
You'd have to pay 4 for X just to be equal to Mind Funeral. That's why I run three of each along with 4 Glimpse the Unthinkable in my modern mill deck. Mind Grind is better than Funeral in the late game if you have the mana to burn and nothing else to play. In standard though, stick with what you're given. This and Paranoid Delusions are good for what they are.

I swear, Wizards is determined to ensure mill is NEVER viable in Standard.
Mind Funeral is this for 
less, just without 
. Mind Funeral was also uncommon, and this is rare.
Fast mill clearly won't work. Control mill it is.

I don't think this is designed for mill decks, frankly. If you cast it lategame when you and your opponent both have about half your lands in play, it can potentially just mill them out by itself. You put it into long-haul control as an alternate win condition.

Well, it's an all star in drafts. You can't forget that if you're trying to draft control, cards like this can be the finisher you need in place of a powerful creature.

I got hit by this a few times in a Dimir mill deck and frequently lost about 6-15 cards to it on average. Very effective.
Then, one time, a guy running a defender mana ramp deck with multiple wincons hit me with it, where X was 16.
I lived and won next turn! TWO CARDS LEFT IN MY LIBRARY!
Seriously, screw dedicated mill. Chuck this in a mana ramp and hit them hard.

@NolHavent: I know that you understand the card, but let me clear up this question. At least I'm fairly certain that's how it works.
When Magic says a number like this, it means X or more. If it means an exact amount, it says "exactly." This is an almost unknown interaction because all cards where it could be relevant either state it directly through "or less," "exactly," or "or more," or prevent confusion like this one does.
So you'd reveal the top card, find a land, check if 0 land cards have been revealed, which they have (Revealing one is also a way of revealing none or more), and drop Mind Grind into the 'yard. Congratulations, you just milled 1 for the cost of a Glimpse.
