Weight of Memory3UU Sorcery (Uncommon)
Draw three cards. Target player puts the top three cards of their library into their graveyard.In lives that have stretched for centuries, there are bound to be a few awkward silences.
They can't all be winners. It is also important to point out, I think, that in heavy GY strategies, this can be something as good as Draw 6 for 5. Which is certainly Sorcery speed.
The story implications are much more important than the card itself, though.
I suppose if you are playing a lot of cards like Gurmag Angler and Treasure Cruise, this is effectively only UU once you have 3UU plus another U or B available. Sort of.
This reminds me of that draw spell in Theros. I find it notable that these draw spells with mill tacked on prevent you from decking yourself first in limited games that go long. And the decks that play expensive draw spells are expecting the game to go long.
Card itself is not good, but it does beg the question: how did Jhoira stay so young for all this time?? I understand that Karn doesn't age and Teferi was 'phased out' in Zhalfir, correct? What did Jhoira do? Remained on 'suspend'? heh

Would you like to read Commander stories? Check my latest stories, coming from Lorwyn and Innistrad: Ghoulcaller Gisa and Doran, The Siege Tower! If you like my writing, ask me to write something for your commander as well!

You too can look young if you hydrate properly like Jhoira.
(Less glibly: "Jhoira herself became nearly immortal due to her experiences at Tolaria following the disaster. She managed to rig a means to collect water from a pool that had been affected by the temporal rifts. Drinking that water slowed the aging process to a near-absolute stand still, causing her appearance to age days over the course of centuries.")

Thanks for the clarification! So Jhoira is basically the Ponce de Léon that made it.
Hey--I was actually joking but apparently that was pretty close to the truth.
Man, if you were just guessing and you guessed correct, go buy some lottery tickets right now, heh.

It was definitely a guess. As soon as I read your comment I did a Gatherer search for the term "youth", saw the Fountain, and said it; void_nothing had already ninjaed me by then.
The suckiest part of all the Immirtal Dominarians we have is still Liliana has to sell to four demons and Nicky just to get youth (I mean she definitely did not get that much more powerful) while like a ton of Dominaria characters are immortal for free.

MtG is where you can hate white players or black players, and still not be racist.
Oh come on guys your all negative on good cards like this a lot
This will definitely be in the commander builds
Maybe the slow blue Brawl builds. Commander already has so many better draw effects than this.
The best that can be said is that reanimator can always use the mill. But most of the time, I'd prefer to just cast Opportunity (and even it has a strictly better now, even if it's just trinket text) and dredge up Golgari Grave-Troll or Stinkweed Imp.
(Also, I do wish people would remember Juan Ponce de Leon for petitioning the Crown to kick out Diego Colon, but whatevs. Especially since Fountain of Youth legends were also popular during the Crusades and actually go back to Roman times.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
