Soratami Mindsweeper trades bounce spells for mill — pay two mana and return a land to hand to mill an opponent for two cards, repeatable as long as you have lands to bounce. The cost compounds fast, and the payoff per activation is low enough that it only earns a slot in decks built specifically to abuse it.

Soratami Mindsweeper is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but it's nearly invisible outside of Commander. In Legacy and Vintage the mill rate is irrelevant and the mana investment is indefensible. Commander is where Soratami Mindsweeper finds its niche: decks that recur lands from hand — Patron of the Moon, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, or any high-bounce-land shell — can chain activations without real cost, and multiplayer math means each activation hits everyone's mill total simultaneously.
