What?!?

This might actually be in a way better than Relic of Progenitus

Absolutely incredible anti-graveyard trinket.

Is it better than Relic of Prog? That depends on whether or not you plan to abuse your own GY, but in Commander or the new Escape Standard, the answer is probably "OH YEAH". I'm less convinced in Modern/Legacy, where getting to cantrip and also nuke the 'yards is amazing, but for sure there are decks that play Relic and would like to save their own 'yards from destruction.

At any rate, being compared to one of the best anti-graveyard shenanigan cards of all time, one that is still a $2 uncommon after multiple printings, is a really good sign. This set is really strong looking so far.

Should a colorless 1 card kill all graveyards except yours, while serving as a repeatable draw in certain decks?

This looks fantastic for EDH. I avoid running Relic of Progenitus in several decks because I don't want to hit my own graveyard, and only exiling one card per turn isn't enough to keep up in a multiplayer format, so exiling a specific card immediately is actually not that bad of a tradeoff. There is a bit of tension between the grave hate and cantrip abilities, but seems worth testing at least. I'm not sure if it is better than Nihil Spellbomb, but certainly worth consideration in non-black decks.

In other formats, I think the comparison with Relic is a lot closer - it's easier to get it down early and keep an opponent's graveyard under control by activating it repeatedly. Relic also has some synergies with cards like Eternal Scourge as a source of repeatable value. Still, seems like a solid alternative to Tormod's Crypt. It also gets around Leyline of Sanctity.
