I know it mills the opponents deck. It's just that, as Raijin mentioned above, think about what exactly you are paying to Mill 10 cards from the opponents deck.

First of all, you need to sack two of your own monsters, Black Dragons to be precise. None of them have any built in staying power, and their wonky stat totals make them very vulnerable to removal cards of all sorts Also the fact that destroying two monsters you control to play a 8000/2/7000 body with absolutely no protection abilities isn't exactly great.

Secondly, theres the gauge cost. It costs 3 to play this, and it is by no means a game-ender on its own unless you somehow stalled the fight long enough to reduce the opponents deck to 10 or less. And good luck with that, since Black Dragons aren't built for the long haul due to a severe lack of advantage cards or ramping of any kind. Sure you could say that Black Dergs have some nice gauge-boosting Size 1s like Zacrown, but theres only so much those can do for you, and they pay for it with low stats and crit.

Third, the 20 card drop zone requirement. Easy enough to meet the requirements? Yeah, you could probably hit 10 in the opponents drop before calling this fairly easily...As long as you throw away pretty much literally every other card you have. Let's say you go second and therefore have 7 cards and 3 gauge to work with and the opponent has a Soulguard Size 2 card in the center. You play BDDAbygale and Deadlock, play Black Drain, use Aby's ability on the monster, break it down with Deadlock, swing for 2 with Aby, then declare Final and play this thing. Congrats, you now have 2 cards in your hand and no gauge with only an overglorified wall to protect you. Even spacing this out over a few turns, it's far too much work for terrible payoff.

Now then, is a 10 card mill strong? Of bloody course it is, thats a fifth of the standard deck size. But all the hoops you have to jump through to get this off properly and how expensive it is to play kill any and all usefulness it has.
