I don't see any parallels between this and Storm Crow, you guys. Where are you getting that? Oh, wait! You mean Storm Crow, not Black Lotus, got it.

mill is dead, stop making cards for a win condition that no longer exists. why does this exist in the same block as eldrazi? i suppose in legacy it will work--but then again, in legacy you either run painter's servant/grindstone or you don't play mill.

Unlike old school poison cards, this guy will finish you off with mill before combat damage. Mill, it's the blue poison!

What? Why would they ever make Storm Crow even more powerful? This is insane...What next, a reasonably priced chimney imp?

Storm Crow, smartest of all birds. Learning new tricks to this very day.
Anyone who rated this less than four stars must not be thinking just how fast you can mill with, say... 2 or more of these guys out.
S***...this little guy won me four games, two matches in a draft tournament this week. Give him some equipment and he's doing a ton of damage to people playing 40 card decks. Everyone, including myself, were surprised I had obtained a player set of these. Especially when two people drafting beside me were playing blue as well.
This is good. Give him a Wispersilk Cloak and have some of those awesome Myr out, and it's Milling time. Also, really good with Accorder's Shield. For more shenanigans, play with Tainted Stike or Argentum Armor.

Scars of Mirrodin in the same block as Eldrazi? lolwut
@Eternal_Blue; Eldrazi don't kill mill. Check this out. Leyline of the void or sadistic sacrament will exile said eldrazi who will never trigger, in addition to being useful in the Standard environment on their own- Vengevine and Primeval Titans go by the wayside. Keening stone is so strong that if you do dump an Eldrazi Shuffler as you dump the last cards, Temple Bell will kill your opponent at instant speed. I do that as an alternate win con in my standard green deck. okay, blue/green artifacts, but still green.

I remember playing one of these and equipting Sword of body and mind, and my opponent had no cards with flying or reach and no creature removal cards. It was the milling 14 per turn instead of the damage that made me win.

My opponent in a Mirrodin Besieged prerelease had just played a Blightsteel colossus, and was priming it up to swing at my creatureless field next turn. I had 2 poison counters at this point. I thought i was completely toast, when i drew this. I grinned, played it, and my opponent immediately conceded. When I asked him why later, he replied: "Because you just would have just played Disperse to bounce blightsteel when i swing, played Memoricide and have me exile it. Then you just would have played your Screeching Silcaw again, and mill me untill i died. That card is broken tier and should be banned. One damage, AND milling for just two mana? Ridiculous." Unfortunately, I knew he was right.
So i foolishly felt bad, and traded it for a playset of Jace, the Mind Sculptors. I still regret that trade even now. Because think about it: Jace takes a while to actually mill and costs 4. You could play two of these instead, and mill them for 8 every turn. If you play a third, that's 12 every turn. That will thin their deck faster than jace ever will, not to even mention you are doing damage too.
10/5 overall. Auto-4-of in all blue decks, along with Storm Crow. If you don't run blue in your deck, splash it for those two cards. You'll probably be hated by your playgroup, but that's the price of winning every single game ever. (Even the ones you aren't playing)

Yeah... it's cool in limited but not when all these "when WHATEVER hits the graveyard shuffle all your crap into your library" cards exist, it's like you have to play Suffer the Past or Ravenous Trap just to keep the crap you've milled milled.

I was making a casual mill deck using only cards from m11 and up. This guy didn't even cross my mind until I realized I was running 16 artifacts. I also added a playset of shriekhorn
HOLY COW! Star City Games has foils of this guy listed for .25 each.

So I was playing a 3 player game with a s h i t artifact deck with 3 of these in it vs a red burn deck and green fattie deck. Milled the burn deck down to 1 card, he drew a fireball and immediately blasted me for 14 (I was on like 2). He then tried to over whelm the green deck with all of his creatures.
The 12 year old girl playing the green deck calmly tapped one and played Fog. I lol'd for days.
And, without this card, the red deck would of burnt both of us out. <3 the Millcrow

Strictly worse than Storm Crow. Period. There is no possible way that this could ever be better than Storm Crow, Storm Crow fits into a mill deck better than this piece of excrement. Plus Storm Crow is infinitely cooler and beats this noob in a fight. Minimum/5

Caw.
This new Storm Crow is begging to hold a Sword of Body and Mind I guess
