For this block it was basically meant to be some sort of Threshold until end of turn. But it can still have some use since you don't have to remove the top seven cards, therefore by playing this card you might get some goodies into your graveyard and can keep them if you have others to remove instead. For Threshold decks and also for other uses in general you'll much rather play Glimpse The Unthinkable, though.

yeah i remember when i got one in a pack... i was like... this is the second oddest rare I have ever seen (1st being that discard your hand card)
Not that you can't use it on your opponent, so it's not comparable to Mind Funeral. On another note, I think I might try this with perhaps Werebear and friends for early big threats.

Gotta love how that precon Torment deck has two terrible rares, yet the amazing Psychatog.

In which complex and elaborate combo would someone exile and mill 7 of his own card? In any case its weak, since it always says you're the target of the spell, so twincast and fork won't help

I imagine it working quite well with a Hive Mind, granted, there are more effective ways of mill with that enchantment. such as Windfall.

Use in response to the suspend trigger of Living End, or if you have 7 mana, Living Death.

I really like the feel of this card, I'm a big fan of it's art. This is one of my secret weapons in my unearth grixis deck, I dump a bunch into my graveyard for a quick reanimation and swing. And of course this combos with all threshold cards.

It turns out to be pretty useful in my grave builder deck. For to mana I can bump up any creature with power / toughness equal to creatures in graveyard and then empty any of the garbage I don't want. Plus it runs at instant speed

plenty of cards can mill yourself and leave those cards in the 'yard where you can use them.
Not many cards can exile seven cards from a graveyard at once and leave the rest. Grave consequences is the only other I'm aware of.
