It's nice how the flavor text follows up on the Conflux version. Looks like the Knights of the Reliquary never did find their tower.

I've had many fun victories with this card and Spiraling Embers.

YES. Perfect reprint. Now I can finally get one for EDH where this card truly shines!

I miss the Conflux flavor text.

This is such a great reprint. I can't wait to put this in every one of my EDH decks, especially with all the Howling Mines running around in my playgroup.

Well this is a pleasant surprise. I must say, getting the Spellbook land again is pretty dandy.

This card is almost broken when used with Jace, Memory Adept's ultimate.
Just threw him into an EDH I am testing with a mill base, this and Consecrated Sphinx shown up in my opening hand, I was a very happy man that game

Used this in my mill deck for Jace, Memory Adept's ultimate (alongside a Jace's Erasure).
Was able to pull off his ultimate and didn't exactly know how to hold the 20 extra cards in my hand, so I dispersed the tower back to my hand and discarded back down to 7.
Love the art; it looks like the Disney Atlantis movie.

This card has some sweet new promo art.

Like Homeward Path, you should probably have one in each EDH deck... just in case.
In normal situations, you'd probably not need it. But if someone plays a Forced Fruition or a Font of Mythos, guess who's not screwed anymore?
This also completely takes out the negative aspects of Jin-Gitaxias: you won't be discarding any of those 7 cards, and reducing your hand size from infinite to infinite - 7 doesn't really matter.
This "no maximum hand size" effect can backfire, though: playing Resurrection EDH usually benefits from lots of discarding; Dreamborn Muse is just unpleasant when you have 10+ cards in your hand.

Much needed reprint, especially with EDH (aka. Commander) getting pushed so much lately.

@redmercury: spellbook does not use your land drop for the turn, although it does not generate mana either. I'd say this is probably the better card overall though.

Notice the square clouds.

Then used that Psychic Spiral :)
