they're so adorable! like cute furry relentless rats!
and i like the ability, it potentially dumps your opponent's land and then rewards you for it with a piece of cheese- 1 life.

i can not top the previous comment, nor shall i try, this card is epic and i would love to pick up one for my casual rat deck just to slowly mill people

I like the fact that it exiles, rather than puts into graveyard. Anything that busts unearth decks is wonderful, since Unearth busts control, and I bleed blue.

Admittedly I only played one midnight draft at lovely Serenity Games in Belfast, NI, but I've taken quite a liking to these little critters, and they will find a place in my Black / Red deck for the foreseeable future. Get two or three of these little fellas in play, tap, exile, play Land, untap, tap, exile and watch your opponent's thoughtfully built deck melt away, and get a few life points to boot! I loves me my Scrib Nibblers!

Great little card, and the landfall ability is just butter. A useful tool for black discard/mill decks. Sanguine Bond loves these guys :D
awesome card, wish I had grabbed a few more, so powerful, but they shoulda been blue

"If it's a land card, you gain 1 life."
Do you get to nibble on target players land card before or after it is exiled?

OK, with a little luck these little guys and Telemin Performance seem to be the only answers a mill deck has against the Eldrazi god cards.

@Cthuluz: really? REALLY?!?
Relic of Progenitus is arguably the staple anti-Eldrazi card. Against an Eldrazi deck, it stops them from ruining your plans. Against any other deck, you at least get to draw a card for 2 colourless mana. Ravenous Trap works well, but is useless against non-Eldrazi decks. While this wasn't out when you posted, Leyline of the Void also works quite well, and has fantastic applications against other decks such as Pyromancer Ascension.
Scrib Nibblers is *not* a great anti-Eldrazi card, and Telemin Performance only becomes good if you're facing a Polymorph deck; otherwise you're likely to hit a junk creature. Scrib Nibblers isn't bad, but is inferior to noncreature mill cards such as Mind Funeral for one reason - Day of Judgment, the bane of any deck that focuses too heavily on creatures.

Very fun with green mana boost. I run it with my green token deck and Oracle of Mul Daya. don't forget to pull out Haunting Echoes later on... 3 stars alone, 5 Stars with a combo!!!!

These little guys are probably my favorite card. Granted they're not insanely powerful on their own, but they're just so much fun in casuals. Tap, exile, play a swamp, tap, exile, gain 1 life. Whoo! Now when you get 2-4 out...

While it is a little tricky to pull off. there is an infinite combo with these rats.
Basically, all you need on the field are these:
1x Scrib Nibblers 2x Myr Galvanizers 1x mana producing Myr 1x Xenograft(be sure to name Myrs as the chosen type)
This is how it would work:
Tap scribs, then tap the pallidum myr, then the galvanizer. It'll untap the Pallidium and because of the Xenograft, the Scribs too. Rinse and repeat.

This actually won the game for a friend. He was using a milling deck against my Eldrazi deck that had Emrakul. As luck would have it, he exiled it, then repeatedly gained enough life to mill me to death
Probably the cutest rat. Look at all those other rats, consuming everything in their path like a pestilent grey tsunami, while these little fellas are quite happy just nibbling on some old books.

I like to think this was actually "Scribe Nibblers", but then they ate off the "e".
