When you play this, their decks starts going under...
Unless there are more milling cards in this set, you'll be everybody's fool when you play this.

Make evanescence puns... check!
One more off the bucket list!

My name is Evan, so by default I like this card.

I don't think that's Karametra. Karametra doesn't actually wear a hood, the thing in her art is her chair.

I can only assume there's some justification for why Karametra, GW God of Harvests, is shown here indulging in the more traditionally UB (piewise her enemy) act of inducing insanity / memory loss. Then again, given her general reception, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised...

Edit: Yes, it appears I was wrong. Apologies!

I.. don't really have anything against this card. I already have a Pauper mill deck but I may try to shoehorn this in simply because it's another repeatable milling outlet--something Pauper doesn't get a lot of. This card + a creature + counterspells/fogs and you got yourself one of the slowest, most boring win conditions ever. But it could work! It could work!

Cool art! Mediocre ability, but good in a Commons Only format.

Mill is more potent in limited, but even if this card doubles for Inspired shenanigans, this is still very costy.

If just the card were as awesome as the artwork.
Why couldn't they make the activation cost Blue only?

This would have made it more playable for both limited and constructed. Win-Win!

Being an Aura, even just the tapping requirement and no mana cost would still have been fair.

Play with mindreaver and lose with style.

If the ability was reduced to just Tap or maybe even BlueTap, I could see playing it on Grimoire Thief.
