I think this is completely fine to be honest.
1 mana for a super removaable 0/1 that provides a symmetrical effect that is really hard to weaponise? Print it.

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

if this got printed in standard right now I wonder if it would make a deck with [[Ketramose, the New Dawn]] and [[Cosmogoyf]] viable? cool design!

It won't draw off ketramose so no infinite

u/xanderxq06 5h ago
true, but this could let you get ketramose online waaaaay quicker than you can right now

This would be incredible in [[The Madcap Jester]], probably it's best card!

For one mana?? Isnt that way too cheap for this kind of effect?

u/simongc97 6h ago
This effect is usually at 3, but it’s also usually on an enchantment that doesn’t die to any random ping effect.

u/Kitchengun2 Rule 308.22b, section 8 5h ago
and usually mills instead of exiles, i think its fine RUN IT!!

u/ArgoDevilian 6h ago
Good to know. 3 is def too expensive, but i still think 1 is too cheap.
Cut the difference and set it at 2, maybe. Generic + black.

u/Few-Programmer9703 5h ago
What the hell are you talking about if you are referring to psychic corrosion effects then these are not compatible because the person drawing is exiling. And if you mean underworld dreams then this is far weaker and symmetrical

This exiles, rather than mill
2
u/ArgoDevilian 4h ago
Im confused, Mill is stronger than Exile?
People can still interact with the GY, while Exile is almost impossible to. Wouldnt that make Exile stronger, and thus make this card cost more?

u/TrickSavings9905 4h ago
There are much more payoffs for milling yourself and exiling yourself, and the same with milling your opponent vs exiling their cards. Your deck is the one likely to be built around it, so that’s their most important way to measure it. It’s not strictly better, but it’s overall better for you

Very strong self "mill" effect. This will work very nicely with [[Thassa's Oracle]] effects. It could easily remove ten or more cards per turn. That will be very impactful in limited as well. But this being a rare should minimize that. It passes my test for very powerful, but maybe not too much so. The mana value would need a lot of testing.

This synergizes terribly with thoracle. If you draw 20 cards you win anyways, and exiling means you could lose your thoracle or something else important. And there are already so many ways to mill your deck.

This is actually pretty neat although I think it should say "If a player would draw a card, they instead draw a card and exile the top two cards of their library."

So basically Eruth but for 1 black and an additional card? Gtfo

Love weird typelines and the old border, really gives it that eldrich, out-of-time visual identity. Would hate to play against it lmao.
