Casting cantrips with this is just so much fun!

One of the planes that only the winner will be trying to leave :P

so apparently this is a plane now? Although the mere mention of kamigawa makes me cringe, this card is actually really useful in a planechase game. It makes decks with tons of cheap creature spells ungodly fast- think recycle, but without skipping the draw step and the painful hand size handicap- but also control benefits from this too. You will always have a card in hand, so unless you are completely tapped out your opponent(s) won't be sure if they are safe. I am always happy to walk to minamo, which is something I never would have thought possible for something that is supposed to be from that atrocity known as the kamigawa block.
While all spells benefit from the free cantrip, some spells just get awesome. Terminate becomes one of the nastiest kill spells in the game, as its cheap pricing means you will most likely be able to play the other terminate you drew. Recoil becomes hilarious, especially since you get it back if you get lucky with a roll (or someone else gets unlucky!)
What benefits the most, however, are the cascade cards. Keep in mind the card you cascade into is considered cast and triggers Minamos' first ability. For example, let's say you cast a bloodbraid elf. You draw a card, and then you cascade into violent outburst, draw another card and cascade into terminate. Oh, and you draw a card from that. So for {2}{R}{G} you got a 2/2 haste, killed a defender, gave all your stuff +1/+0 and drew three cards. You would have a hard time not winning with that kind of advantage.

Apparently Minemo is the only thing worth discussing from Kamigawa

Oh God, there was this one time...
In one turn. ONE. One guy in the 5 way planechase game, who had a semblance anvil out with an artifact, played another one followed by hordes of cheap 2 cost artifacts. It was a Throne of Geth based proliferate infect deck.
He didn't use many lands in it and just blitzed through his deck, using Ichor Rats to poison everyone, then ripped through four artifacts with the throne and some untap stuff, some other cards like Steady Progress, and...
Long story short, the 'Play a spell, draw a card' effect of this had us all on 8 poison counters in one player turn. We didn't manage to kill him before his next turn.
