If I'm not mistaken, you can activate the first ability several times to make a single player lose multiple life for each card that went to their graveyard. I like that. (Goes in Sygg, RC EDH)
EDIT: Or Mindcrank, or Jace...some decent possibilities for sure. Heck, even if they don't end up being super-successful, you know everyone is going to want to try. Pretty exciting, actually.
The first one might be very very dangerous with cypher and the aberration, or with the maybe cipher mill spell. Not to mention Memory adept. And that only on standard.
Tha charmz wizardz, tha charmz! You gotta spoil those! Not this limited-only card!
(and here is my subtle card evaluation).
Edit: if this becomes good with mindcrank in Modern I'll feel bad.

Of all cards this isn't even close to being limited only. The ability is a bomb with just simple mill cards.
It seems the Dimir guild is pushing mill not as the direct way to win, but as a method to use and garner resources. Mill doing damage, mill making your creatures bigger, mill letting you still the opponents creatures.
Of course straight out milling the opponent out is an option to. I really like the Dimir this go around.

meh, it just seems so 'meh' in limited compared to the other guildmages. Hopefully it will find its way into fringe standard deck to make up for it though

Fringe? I think it will be a competitive combo! I mean, all you have to do is let a guildmage land and Jace, then next turn, drop a land, use guildmages ability twice, and bam, -0 for 20 damage.

5 Mana for 10 damage? Alright.
Or 8 Mana for 20. /notbadface

As said, activate it 2 times so the first time you mill its allready deadly.
Might be a "real" combo for standard, it has a good potential and nice ways to be quite deadly.

And yes, I am playing this guildmage with Memory Adept and other milling shenanigans. Oh man, this should be fun.

Hopefully they do a retake on Glimpse with Cipher...
