Peer into the Abyss 4BBB
Sorcery
Target player draws cards equal to half the number of cards in their library in their library and loses half their life. Round up each time. "Oh, don't be so dramatic. When your eyes bleed, and your brain leaks out your ears, then we'll talk about lost sanity."
—Braids, dementia summoner
You know what they say about staring into the abyss: how do you keep all those cards in your hand?
Cmon guys, it's a seven mana black spell. It's pure casual fun. That card is hopelessly unplayable in any competitive format. Brawl/EDH? Definitely.
WotC is fully aware that now more and more players are coming into Magic Via commander, not standard. So dont be surprised if WotC prints more "commander cards"
Also This + Ob nixilis Hate Bond is cute

even there its barely playable
i pretty much never want to give my opponent that many cards unless i can end the game on the spot. so that rules out using it on virtually every blue deck. it only hits one person at a table with 3 opponents and doesn't even kill, so you need to follow it up with something else.
nah, better to hit yourself and thassa's oracle out with it, but at 7 mana there's so many better ways to do that. i'd also say it can be good for combo builds... except they want to be combo'ing out before this thing can even be cast (and they generally will) so is that extra draw even necessary in most cases?
its the token big mana black card that super casuals will fawn over and never realize actually sucks. outside of that... junk.

Wheel's decks exist... cast this with Underworld Dreams, Ob Nixilis, Fate Unraveler, or Nekusar and you have a 1 shot kill in most instances. and 7 mana is not that hard to get in Black...

I'd love for us to get a new Braids! If they can make Rankle, they can find a way to make a new Braids that's less busted/stax-y. Since she has the Dementia Summoner title, maybe she'll get a Chainer, Nightmare Adept treatment. Fingers crossed!

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Either on yourself and a combo (with lots of 0 cost mana and rituals) or shooting it at the opponent with something that is deadly for them.
Whatever it does, this card should always win the game if its cast, at least by someone that build a deck with it in mind.
All the casuals will draw a lot of cards, spend a lot of time counting how much cards they have, draw the cards, discard and waste a TON of time in commander, so i already hate it for that reason alone.
I'll probably give it a shot in Rakdos, Lord of Riots because when that deck runs out of cards it feels like ***** but if it can draw that many cards it can probably just end the game. I also happen to have the Wound Reflection Demon in that deck.

Look at who's talking in the flavor text
”braids, dementia summoner”
It's a full name not just ”braids”
Are we getting a new braids!?

Does everybody keep forgetting commander
Nekusar, the Mindrazer can instant kill someone with it depending on life
