Ah yes. Just like Prodigal Sorcerer ending up with all pingers being called Tim and Grizzly Bears giving all 2-drop 2/2s the nickname "Bear", this guy is the reason we call decking strategies "Millling." True, there are better mills than this card, but few that are as reliable as him.

Just took down a 4-man M14 draft with this in a sweet Esper control deck using all the cards nobody wanted.
I'm glad they included this in the 20th anniversary core set. Nothing says "I've got control" more than spending your leftover mana on the opponent's end turn step to drain their library two cards at a time.
Despite appearances the actual clock in Limited is roughly 7-8 turns, depending on when you stabilize. People forget that the opponent's draw step helps speed the process.

2 stars for card
.5 stars for epic art
.5 stars for holding up better than most early artifacts (I'm looking at YOU Rod of Ruin)
2 stars for begetting mill
Total: 5/5
