This card can either be used to force an opponent into a top-decking situation, or be used as a Counsel of the Soratami. It would be nice if it had an optional cost that allowed you to choose both options though.

I personally prefer probe over this. Like this card it can draw you some, or it can draw you some AND make your opponent discard. And you need only blue mana to draw some, in case you have no black manasources yet.
I've also had fun (with the preconstructed Dimir Intrigues deck) using this to force the opponent to top-deck, then only allowing them to draw cards I permit through Lurking Informant.

A staple in every one of my U/B decks, and doubly useful in my Megrim one.
Discard spells are good... till your opponent has no more cards to discard. Consult the Necrosages allow a discard deck to use it to draw cards after it had served its discard part of the function.

Good card, but if your running white Esper Charm is the better choice.

I'm inventing a format where this card and other Dimir cards will really shine. It's called "My Friends Have Terrible Cards." In this format, you can count on your play group to use a hodge-podge assortment of booster packs and hand-me-downs. You have the luxury to play under-powered milling cards that are kinda gimmicky and silly. And because the overall power level of the format is so low, you still win a consistent number of games (40% or so).
If this format sounds fun to you, we're playing on Thursday. Remember, no cohesive decks. You can bring your rogue deck, but it mush include a full playset of Amphin Cutthroat and Krovikan Scoundrel.

Perplex is easily better at discard, and countering is often better than drawing. Still, this card is much better than either Divination or Mind Rot, because it's basically a Split card.

I honestly would have thought this would be at least an uncommon, much much better than Pilfered Plans most of the time.

Dear Necrosages
My girlfriend just left me and I'm having trouble meeting new people. What do I do?
I'd like to start off by saying that we're huge fans of your work- Frank reads "Greatness, at Any Cost" to his son Spike every night and he loves it. If you're having a hard time meeting new people I'd suggest visiting your local carnarium for a night of partying and socializing. Just watch out for the spikes. If that' not quite your scene the undercity is crawling with interesting folks, and has an open and welcoming attitude.
Best of luck, the Necrosages

My cat Rivin died in a freak spark magic accident today and I feel really bad. What can I do to cheer myself up?
The loss of a pet is always hard. Why, Tony just lost his dog Seymour last week. In an event like this the easiest thing to do is to reanimate him. Seymour is now back among the semi-living and as healthy as ever!
Hope this helps, the Necrosages

I'm interested in joining the House Dimir and would like to know how one could arrange a meeting with Mr. Szadek. Do you have his contact information?

Only Dimir card better than this is Glimpse the Unthinkable.
