What it does
Whenever you draw a card, target opponent mills two cards. If two nonland cards that share a color were milled this way, repeat this process.
5: Draw a card, then discard a card.

Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2015-06-22
The process will keep repeating as long as both cards share a color and neither is a land card.
- 2015-06-22
Colorless is not a color, so putting two colorless cards into a graveyard won’t cause the process to repeat.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
