Card: Mind Thrashing 4BB Sorcery Put your library into your graveyard. Reason: It's a terrible effect, but Johnny in particular will love it. I'm slightly worried about interactions with y.will, but this thing costs 6, and if morality shift isn't seeing play in type 1, I'm doubtful that this will. It opens the door for Johnny to finally use his living death / reanimator with feldon's cane library recursion  Plus, the "drawback" of morality shift is that your library goes into your graveyard. Who wants that? Current Wording
Mind Thrashing
4BB
Sorcery
Put your library into your graveyard.

Given that Morality Shift does essentially the same thing, without killing you the next turn, why make this card?

How about choosing a non-legend creature? Otherwise he is a UG instant Wrath of Frog. |

it costs 1 less, and it's different from morality shift. Shift requires a specific set of circumstances to get the exact state you want. This just puts everything in the bin. I've made my share of wacky, insane, casual graveyard decks and used shift. One thing I never liked was the "swap graveyard and library."

This is MUCH stronger than Morality Shift. Swapping the yard into the library is a DRAWBACK of Morality Shift, not an added benefit. So, this should cost more. Remember that people were getting this effect as a 2-card combo (en-Kor guys + Cephalid Illusionist) in a competitive Extended deck.
I think this card also seems to me to encourage only one type of deck. Basically, you build a combo deck that powers this out, then wins by casting Krosan Reclamation during upkeep on your next turn. That deck probably isn't good enough to be competitive (the spell would have to cost too much, and the combo's too fragile), and it's not like this really adds a new tool to a Johnny's repertoire, since you can already get the effect from things like Cephalid Illusionist plus Shuko.

Talk about leaving yourself open - any draw effect kills you! That said, this isn't far from Oath or Hermit Druid with the right deck, and that style of deck doesn't see a lot of play.

Yeah, this exists for a cheaper cost. With that in mind, should this just be closed? The whole point was to make a card that would eliminate the swap part of shift, but there already exists plenty of cards to do that.

I don't think there are cards that do exactly this. Given old combo decks like Hermit Druid, this is potentially dangerous but an interesting tool. After all, Wild Mongrel exists but One With Nothing got printed.

I think this is still a fine card to make. It's not cheap enough to be broken like Druid.

Ok then, I guess I'll keep on trucking with it.
Any issues? Can I clock this?
If so, 24h clock
