That's what happens when you conduct private research.

Quite useful in graveyard decks. Draw a card, and get a free Rootwalla or something.

... how is it that he's old? surly by now he would have either died or figured out how to research less... Haplessly.

Always feels like Us Mogg Fanatic to me, which is pretty good. As with Fanatic, it was better with the old damage rules.

Great in re-animator. Also useful for searching in combo decks. It is a tossup between this, looter il-kor, and merfolk looter. For a casting cost of 1, the price is fair. A solid 4/5 in the right decks.

Currently run in many Legacy reanimator decks. I'd say it works rather well there, alongside Careful Study and the like.

"Man, we've had another scholar plummet to his death. I guess we shouldn't of built of a library of 50 foot tall bookshelves and books heavier than anchors. For being wizards, we really didn't think that one out."

Until they printed Doomed Traveler, I always considered this to be the most flavorful creature in Magic. Because sure, he feel from the ladder and died. And sure, that's sad... but hey, at least he got the book before he fell!
