Simple. Effective. Cheap. Game Winning. Twincast FTW!

simple, cheap and effective, yes, but it isn't exactly game winning, there are plenty of ways that they could recover.  Also this would most likely only work once, because they don't have to search their library.

But in a mill deck, its broken. Either way its a good combo. You get rid of a creature and you have two options from there you can either a) make your opponent discard up to 52 cards from their deck, depending on the amount of archive traps and twincasts you have. 52 is unreasonable, but it could happen. also, seeing as to how fetch lands have overcome the battlefield in standard play, milling your opponent before you even have mana open has become a HUGE possibility and b) it instills fear in there minds. No one likes to be milled no matter how small an amount. If they think you are holding onto an archive trap they wont search there library for a land which COULD help them win the game. also, they wont fetch which ruins there strategy on evening out there mana base which could win the game. Its removal, mill and fear for 1. Thats broken. Especially in a mill deck. If you want to argue about it, be my guest.

It is strong, but there are more broken combos.

Well of course there are more broken combos but this is a strong mill combo for standard. Oh and I apologize if I came across too strong earlier. I'm not trying to be an ass.

I understand Mike, we all do that now and then. No offense taken.
