The guy in the art looks like he's saying "What the f*** is this s***?!"

I think this is an un-discovered card for vintage. Use for graveyard-based control decks (e.g. Gifts, Welder, Dragon). It basically makes your Yawgwill more powerful and earlier if you mana drained a big target the turn earlier. Some dead spells (like drains and Force you cast throughout the control game) are useless with Will, so you can use this to dig deeper into your deck when you already re-cast you Ancestral recall

the instant speed and the flashback are key in this spell. Well designed card, good in some decks.
Good design. It's not so good that you just automatically want to play it, but it can be quite powerful in the right deck. With his flashback cost I've searched through 11 cards to find a game-winner. He's almost like a tutor really.

LordRandomness: Except even if X is 1 the first time around, it can be a different number the next time. You could cast it for a low value of X early on, then later on flip your graveyard into exile to look at the top 26 or so. (I'm not sure if you meant otherwise or not, but it's quite an important distinction between this and Think Twice. :P )

If you assume X is 1, it's {2}{U}: Draw a card, flashback {1}{U} (the exile one card is a pretty negligible cost, let's be honest). It's like a backwards Think Twice. Which obviously isn't as good because Think Twice likes being cheaper to cast the first time around, but then you have the versatility to go card digging if you need to.
Overall, this and Think Twice fill very similar slots in a deck, and this is probably better with self-mill strategies (costing {1} less to flashback and requiring a cost you can pay by exiling cards you milled that aren't useful in the graveyard, and that's without even considering the digging potential)
@manaderp: Well, I did say assuming you use X as 1, which was basically a sort of "this can be compared to Think Twice, plus it then has additional functionality". But I take your point.
