The date is September 22, 2011.

Within one year, Snapcaster Mage will be included in a deck that wins a major Vintage tournament.

If he lives up to the hype (currently $30 a pop) I have a feeling the only reprint we'll see is in a future "From the Vault: blue cards that empty your wallet" set.
What a shame...

The most overpowered card of a set is blue, what a surprise!

This is why lightning bolt, giant growth, and preordain weren't reprinted.

@JimmyNoobPlayer: I do wonder why people would LIKE format-warpers of such a magnitude. There's a chance of them having to face off against them, and the RNG denying them their own format-warpers...Of course, this is coming from someone who doesn't acknowledge the reality of "coolness".

Clearly, he should be recurring your Snaps.

I never said that Eternal Witness wasn't a good card- it's a fantastic card.
I was only saying that Snapcaster is better for most decks, which you apparently agree with:
"This is only good for blue decks that are built around it."

Can somebody clarify the Flashback ability for me? Namely, if I cast Snapcaster on my opponent's turn and give a sorcery in my graveyard flashback, can I cast it? My thought is that the flashback ability can be activated as an instant-but I have been unable to find the exact ruling. I figured here would be a good place to ask.

How much snap could a snapcaster cast if a snapcaster could cast snap? We all know the answer to this one. That said, I'm hoping for either a Rapcaster or Sasscaster Mage in the next Un-Set. Reusing old jokes almost as little fun as flashbacking mana leaks.

@strider24seven: Not quite. This is much more narrow than Eternal Witness. You can throw Eternal Witness in almost any green deck and it will net you card advantage. This is only good for blue decks that are built around it. This is probably the better card in general but Eternal Witness is still an amazing card.

Typical Snapcaster Mage comment: "This will warp every format for years, forcing everyone to play around it. Cool, eh?"

Typical Cavern of Souls comment: "IT'LL HURT MY COUNTERSPELLS! BAN BAN BAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Edit: I've read through more comments, and I may have been hasty. There are many complaints for Snappy. What irks me is that players who favor blue and counterspells seem to think they are superior to other players. They make snap judgments (ha ha!) that countering spells are okay and weakening counters is always bad.

Isn't versatility the true mark of expertise? Shouldn't an expert learn to play well with all colors?

Oh Snapcaster. You...you are one of those cards that I hated from the moment you were released...until the moment I first cast you. I will never look back.
