This card wants Urzatron/Cloudpost, bad. I'd rather have Concentrate/Tidings than this; life isn't really worth the extra 2 mana.
As it stands, I can see it as a one-of "finisher", like Mind Spring, in grindy U/W control decks. Or another sideboard card for control mirrors.

I can see no reason why both Rakdos's Return  and Sphinx's Revelation  should be mythic instead of rare. They are not complex cards, and their power level is not pushed that much.

Rares are allowed to be more complex than mythics, and not all mythics have to be competitively powerful. Pretend that X is a big number and 'feel' the card rather than analysing it.

This article does not contain the word "instant". Did Mike miss that? Instant card drawing is kind of a big deal. Mike seems to think this spell will do better in an invironment without counterspells. That would be true if it were a sorcery, but by being an instant its value jumps when combined with counter magic.

I like this card. I always play 1-2 BSZ's in my control decks, and this is almost always better (corner case scenario's when you mill your opponent out with it and you save yourself from decking).
Too bad draw-go control is unplayable right now, lol.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

No decking your opponent with this card, it says YOU draw.

That is exactly what I said?

So he disregards the obvious fact that Jace 2.0 was the house in UW control, and tries to give Mind Spring more credit than it's due. I don't doubt that Sphinx's Revelation will see play, but it's not like we have a standard with Spreading Seas and a good Jace. Let's face it, there was a reason he was maindecking 4 seas.
