So annoying to play against... and so much fun to play it, especially with the Leyline of Anticipation as it's been said there before :)
I have experienced both situations... and I love it, though I will replace it with Dissipation Field

This was such a top pick in draft. Those were good times.

Quite possibly my favorite card ever. Compared to this why is unsummon so popular? Unless opponents have a quick way around it, it's GAME OVER!!!!!! At least 3 belong in every blue deck.

@Repete - just to be perfectly accurate, Mark of Eviction + scry isn't card advantage. However, it's very good draw filtering, and as we've seen from cards like Preordain, Ponder and Sensei's Divining Top, draw filtering can often be as good, if not better than raw card advantage.
Of course, it's very easy to generate card advantage with this. For as little as 2 mana you can get creatures with draw-a-card ETBs like Wall of Omens or Elvish Visionary. And plenty of other abilities which are similar to draw a card, like Coiling Oracle or Augur of Bolas.
One overlooked thing is that you're getting to cast a spell each turn, for 1 mana. So if you're playing a card that cares about spellcasting - such as the new Consuming Aberration (5 mana UB mill creature from Gatecrash) - you can get a lot of value out of it.

First off, gorgeous design; can we see a reprint with a cycle attached?
Red- 2 or 3 damage to that creature
Black- negative counters maybe
White- Gain life (political if enough life is gained)
Green- add mana / destroy with flying
Blue- This
Second, I like Leyline of Anticipation, but let's get silly here. That plus paradox haze will mess with your opponent.
