This card can make Psychic Spiral lethal, vis a vis Psychic Spiral keeps you alive while using this.

Kind of appropriate, like a kamehameha of mill...just takes time to charge up.

Also, Proliferate.

Into Paradox Haze.dec you go.
Also, why is this rated lower than Honden of Seeing Winds? Come on, no one plays that stupid 5 color honden deck.

A brief comparison of enchantment-based draw engines:

Psychic Vortex costs less mana, can be turned off during the upkeep, and has an otherwise manageable drawback.

Phyrexian Etchings costs the least mana to cast, can be turned off during the upkeep, and really sucks to have Naturalized. Oh, and it eats all of your mana. However, if you can get some counters on it and then skip your upkeep, it's broken. You just get a ton of free cards, as long as you keep pitching your hand before your upkeep with something crazy like Zombie Infestation.

Dragon Appeasement, unappealing on its own, is pretty sweet with Eldrazi Spawn tokens. I've picked up my whole deck with a couple of these in play and didn't have to deck myself because of the handy "skip your draw step" clause.

Coastal Piracy is fun if you're Merfolk and do lots o... (see all)

Played this earlier in my casual UG draw deck following a Psychosis Crawler. Next turn was a Thought Reflection. ;P

It wasn't until I saw an enlarged shot of the art that I realized how awesome it is. I'm not an art major, but I find it to be well rendered and has a nice use of color and contrast; "crisp" is the best adjective for what I'm seeing. Plus, it's not easy to illustrate abstract concepts, yet it's pretty straight-forward what is going on in the picture.

As was said, it's probably best used in EDH. As a six-mana permanent that only helps you out the turn after you cast it, the card needs a slower format to shine.

R_O_L_E_S said it best:

I can see this card being right at home in a deck with some of the new Innistrad cards. This, Mirror-Mad Phantasm , Laboratory Maniac and a bunch of Deranged Assistant and Merfolk Looters.

Super self-mill

* Don't forget your Jace's Erasure, Back from the Brink and/or Phantasmal Image and/or Cackling Counterpart (incase they get fresh on your Laboratory Maniac)...oh and did I mention Mindshrieker and a Sturmgeist to work towards a legit win if your maniac(s) die?

**Edit: Mindshrieker to self when Laboratory Maniac is on the field, then attack =P.
