This is one of those cards that make people stop attacking you in multiplayer... Everyone loves Howling Mines!!!!

howling mine+Yawgmoth's Agenda+War's Toll+Megrim+iron maiden
you can only play a land and one other card per turn (and nothing can cost more then 4 mana), you draw 2 cards, and you take damage from the discard

@darkfury
Yawgmoth's Agenda does not work on your opponent; which I'm assuming your combo is for. There's way better cards for suicide. Not sure where you get the 4 mana limit. War's Toll doesn't stop them from tapping all lands @ main phase to use all the mana at once.

Sometimes you use it for mill. Sometimes you're desperate for card draw, or can actually tap it to turn it into card advantage. Sometimes you're a douche with a mill deck that has Font of Mythos.
Most of the time, you just want the game to go fast and you want your opponent to actually have spells for you to counter/duress.

Giving your opponents gas is the last thing you want to do, run with things to tap your Mine before they draw.

With Scars of Mirrodin, Howling Mine got a new BFF in Vedalken Certarch. Not only does the Certarch, a 1-drop, squeeze in just before your Mine, but as an artifact, Howling Mine helps trigger Certarch's Metalcraft for a 3-mana two-to-one card advantage for the rest of the game.
In honesty, I think the Certarch may be one of the reasons that they switched from Howling Mine to Temple Bell. I find it regrettable, but understandable.
edit:
"True story: On turn 3, my opponent cast Etherium Sculptor for 1U, another one for U, and two Howling Mines for free.
On my turn 3, I cast Underworld Dreams."
Bwahahaha! >: )

Use the aforementioned combo with cards like call to heel. Boomerang, I find, works well for the lands.

Have you considered using Quest for Pure Flame instead of Furnace of Rath? One damage pre drawn card will proc the card very fast, and then you won't be hurting yourself with all yoru extra draw.
