Been getting some good reps with this card and I gotta say, I'm falling in love with it. Been real solid in lots of control decks, with mostly planeswalkers and manlands as win-cons. Most recently it was in a 3-0 Rakdos control deck that splashed white for some goodies (Monastery Mentor, Path, Ajani Vengeant). I've never had one and never really thought I needed/wanted one in my cube, but now that I've played it I don't think it's ever leaving. In my head I used to compare it to the wraths (why would I need The Abyss, isn't it better to just clear the board?) but now I think it isn't apt. It's like comparing Moat to Wrath.
I'm really enjoying it and I haven't even played it in the artifact deck yet!
