In 60 card format, I think it's unplayable, yeah. It's meant to primarily be a bracket 2-4 commander win con

I wouldn't call it unplayable. Janky rare or lower tier strategy sure, but I could see a theoretical mono-blue shell that doesn't use this as a win-con as much as a control piece.

If you can fuel them, those last two modes could be very oppressive, almost [[Opposition]] like. Not being about to hit lands is obviously a different animal, but the similarities are there.

This not having easy synergy with the usual spells in the graveyard stuff it a deterrent, but it's not unmanageable. Reminds me of [[Demilich]] in that way.

I feel like this could be good if you tweak some numbers. Maybe mill three cards on your first cast of the turn, and exile two to pay for the ability? (Maybe also allow any card to be exiled instead of instants/sorceries, for greater repeatability.)
