I always liked this card...potentially lots of drawing power if going against a swarm deck.

Or played in a swarm deck. A reprint that I'd very much love to see.

The flavor text is good too, ambiguous enough to fit no matter which player is on the offense.

You can also use fog and tap effects to nullify attackers after you draw cards. This spell only costs 3 mana, plenty of room for other tricks.

@Cyberium
Tap effects wont work because its after they declare attackers. They would already be tapped and if they wernt (vigilance) then tapping would have no effect on the attack. And if you do it before you declare attackers.... well.... yeah.

Seems great vs swarm decks. Also combos with any of the hunted creatures.

This is one of those cards you stick in an EDH/Commander deck for the heck of it and then excitedly cast when player B with the crazy critterswarm deck attacks player C with the whatever. Drawing fifty-five cards for 2Blue was pretty cool.

Would be great in my Bant-colored ({WUG} for those who don't know}) token deck.

Borrowing 100,000 Arrows or Theft of Dreams are better since you can tap creatures before combat and still get the card draw effect.
