You guys are missing a huge bonus though. It's incredibly hard to counter. Mindbreak Trap, Swift Silence, and Time Stop are the only three counterspells that will work. Anything else can only counter a single copy of Train of Thought. Brain Geyser can be stopped by Mana Leak if you aren't expecting it.

Would have been amaaaazing as an instant. Not bad as is, though.

@Rocket-Matt That would be true. But only if replicated copies of the spells are counted as playing them.... Sadly Gelectrode and Wee Dragonauts don't get the bonus. 2/5

This couldn't at least be an instant? This thing is pretty bad.

braingeyser or mindspring are both superior.

It's a common. What are you going to do? *Shrugs*
It's decent in Ravnica block drafts, anyway.

This is exactly what comes out of my mouth during deck design.
Or when designing decks.
Or when doing anything that involves thinking.
5/5.

i love this card for the inf. mana shenanigans and the flavor. but it is a bit pricey compared to most other draws. compare to Foresee, which gets you 6 cards deep, where this will only get you 2. i would toss this into my myr deck though, just because i would be able to draw all of my cards, cast whatever i needed to finish the game, and laugh. Turn 5, i believe is the fastest i could manage it..

Braingeyser and Mind Spring and Stroke of Genius are all better I think. When I saw the mention of Braingeyser I was pretty happy because today almost everyone seems to think Stroke of Genius is better, but that one extra Mana it costs, is it ALWAYS worth the ability to play it an instant speed? I'm 50/50 on that and I'm always partial to Braingeyser because it brings back fond memories of the summer of 1994. Heh.
Anyway, this card is alright, I mean, a common that does more than make you draw just a few cards, is usually pretty cool, and if you have the Mana, but not the money for Braingeyser, it's still usable.
