Originally the mill wasn't included, but the card felt too awful. I was going to make it mill X if a non-creature spell was exiled, X being the CMC of exiled spell, but it felt like the card was going in too many directions so I went back to give it a bonus to doing what it already could do, so I made mill based off the creature that Shimmering Dreambody turns into. It's still not an amazing card. It's very janky, but I think it could be a fun build-around card that some Johnny might like.
