no it doesn't combo with gustha's scepter at all.....
gustha's scepter just makes it less bad.
I would really like this card if it was cheaper.

I've had some fun with this and Lorescale Coatl and Jace's Erasure. Now we just need a set that deals with the 'wedges' ...

Building a Niv-Mizzet EDH deck, this'll be one of my key combos. Train of Thought replicated a few times or with lots of wizard tribals + Azami, Lady of ScrollsDjinn Illuminatus + Brainstorm could both go off for huge card draws and massive damage. At least in theory...

This can't just go into any deck. It means you always have cards you can play, but your hand approaches zero cards quickly in the general case. And then this is useless. Also, your hand of good cards becomes a hand of ~40% mana sources. If you want to get good mileage out of this, you have to be able to resist playing the lands.
It is a good combo piece, and cantrips work well, but it doesn't take many playtests to realize that you need to build around it.
If you had two out, the ability would go on the stack twice, and you could play instants from the first draw before you shuffle the cards in again.

I was pulverized by this and Jace's Erasure. My opponent had a Consecrated Sphinx to beef up his hand, then he milled me for more than forty-five cards in one turn, drawing another Erasure in the process. Of course his deck was awesome while mine was merely decent, and I'm not the greatest player. Kinda fun learning experience, though. :)

Too much like Impulse and too little like Learning? Maybe that's not such a bad thing...

5/5 Mindmoil is an amazing card in it's own right even without Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind on board. It's the ideal of hand-cycling IMO. Pick the best card in your hand for the current situation, cast it and draw a new hand. Pick the best card in THAT hand.... etc... I'm thinking its actually worth tutoring up early to dig for what I need.
This + Thought Reflection = dangerous awesome combo.

I was running Niv-mizzet, The Firemind with 4x Psychosis crawler deck and something was missing. This made it DA BOMB!

Damn interesting card, and fits best in an Izzet shell. Psychosis Crawler and Niv-Mizzet, The Firemind are made deadly.
With this in mind, you can set off tons of draw effects with rebound cards like Staggershock, or just use Whirlpool Warrior to deal tons of damage with the Crawler or Niv-Mizzet.
Card advantage cards are preferable; Firemind's Foresight or Reforge The Soul can get you Mindmoiling much more effectively after they've resolved. You'll also want cheap cards to set it off, like Gitaxian Probe or Gut Shot.
