I think as far as mill enchantments go it's kind of nice, but I'm also a little worried they're going to turn Blue into "the mill color" in origins and then not give it anything decent.
(and as you are searching their library, not them, bitter ordeal doesn't proc Psychic Surgery...?
Though I agree with you on your first statement, Psychic Surgery only cares about opponents shuffling the library, rather than searching, so it does trigger on each Bitter Ordeal copy.
Cuneo invented the deck. He started 6-1 at the Pro Tour before losing 0-2 to mulliganing into oblivion and a bad matchup on draw (Scissors). So most of us knew it was real after he did that at the PT.
The Grand Prix was absolutely dominated by the deck as it was the #1 seed and smashed the entire top8. Deck is absolutely insane as it draws 2-3+ cards per turn so can get to a Tutelage or Anger with no problem... also allows you to get to Sideboard cards like Negate and Disperse (Annul great right now too) if they bring in Enchantment Hate or stuff like Orbs of Warding.
I took down Game Day without losing a single game last Saturday... even saw Orbs of Warding hate but I did main 1 Negate and 1 Disperse .
I think it's going to be continually under-rated because peeps don't understand how fluid the deck is with mulliganing and getting to cards you need. If it wasn't half blue, it would be much easier to hate out. So peeps who know how to pilot well like Majors will stomp everyone for at least 2 more months. Better question is how will it be post rotation without Anger of the Gods.
It's an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4. Wtf do you people want seriously? It has applications in populate/ above the curve beats decks, or in Bant control/ flash. I seriously think anyone mad at this card for any reason other than losing an attacker to instant speed wurm, should go home and make their own awesome card game and leave the rest of us alone.
Oh. My. Goodness. Why has nobody mentioned a Sphinx's Tutelage, Forgotten Creation Combo???? Run those two cards with an Elixir of Immortality, and then some white destroy sayyyyyy Valorous Stance. And just for fun throw in a Mirror Entity with Chasm Skulker so you have some defense and another win condition beyond the Mill. I apologize for the lack of tags...Not sure how to work those properly.
And on that note, this thread gets a spiffy new lock.

Shout out to commandercast for keeping me entertained.

Thanks Locke
What snuck up on people was how well chaining Magmatic Insight into Tormenting Voice into Treasure Cruise is. Majors milled someone out @ the GP on turn 5.
