@Fictionarious its good because if you have a lot of lands out and you have a bunch of low cost cards (like in a R/U instant/sorcery deck) then you can keep casting them. Essentially, as long as you have the mana to keep it going, you can play a ton of stuff in your deck, and if you have draw spells in the deck itself, you can go through a ton of different cards in a single turn. I'm really mad that they haven't reprinted this b/c i just began running it in a R/U deck thats standard from the zendikar block and before it, the deck was fine, but after it just dismantled my opponent time and again.

Unless I'm horribly, horribly mistaken, this is downright amazing with necropotence- Don't like the card on the top of your deck? Pay 1 life and exile it, so you can get something more useful instead.
Of course, this sort of thing is only efficient in EDH, but still.

I totally love this card. Lets you eat throught your deck faster than you can imagine. At least until you hit the second land for the turn.

I want to replace my Mind Unbound in my zombie deck with this and combo it with Rooftop Storm. I could easily burn through chunks of Zombies at a time for free.

This and the Magus are both awesome. This is a bit more durable, but the Magus has the advantage of being in a supported type. I use Vedalken Aethermage to fetch it all the time :P

let's you go through your deck faster and discard doesn't effect the top of your library.

Has anyone noticed how the Time Spiral block is named after cards from previous sets?
Like Planar Choas from Judment, Time Spiral from Urza's, and Future Sight from Onslaught?
I think its ironic.
