"Split Screen: Seeing Double X Double"

Have you ever thought of playing with multiple libraries before? Like after mindslaving an opponent you realized that it would sure be nice if I had more than one library at my disposal. Now this is the card for you.

Split screen is a 4 mana cost artifact( AKA TV screen) that lets you split your library into 4 and allows you to play with all of your libraries  with the top card revealed. If one card , let us say Glimpse the unthinkable mills you for ten cards you can choose any of the 4 libraries to mill , the same goes when you will search for land or other cards or draw from a library. Instead of one library you now have 4 to choose from , if a card that you need is on top of one library you have the option to draw from that pile. 

4 times the advantage. Imagine the frustration of your miller opponent who now has to mill through 4 libraries or someone who used Extract to look for a card but has less chance of looking for it now that he or she has to look at 4 different piles but can only choose one. This can be a double edged sword as well because you can crack a fetch land and look a library that probably doesn't have the land you need but then again it is still pretty cool to have 4 screens

to choose from.

If split screen ever leaves the battlefield then all 4 libraries are merged and your jolly old time ends. Then again no one thinks of the end of fun. Might as well not think of it as well.
