False Memories mills seven cards from any target's library — including your own — for two mana, and the effect is immediate and unconditional. It's a compact self-mill enabler that earns its slot entirely on enabling Underworld Breach and similar graveyard engines.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t

Commander is where False Memories actually lives, because self-mill payoffs are dense and the seven-card swing is meaningful. In graveyard-centric builds, it functions as cheap setup that doubles as disruption against opposing graveyard decks when pointed at an opponent. Legacy and Vintage legality is technically correct but False Memories sees no meaningful play in either format — dedicated graveyard shells in those formats have faster, more redundant options. Outside Commander, it's a collector curiosity rather than a competitive piece.

Current price
$0.31 bulk tier
At $0.31, False Memories is pure bulk — the kind of card you pick up as an afterthought in a trade binder. That price is stable; there's no spike catalyst on the horizon given how niche the application is.
