In a world where Pitchforks, Torches, and steaknives are considered top-notch anti-Evil security.....

HEEZA FIRIN IZ LAAAAZAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Seriously people- that is a laser gun on a Magic card. Do NOT underestimate this. o.O

If you get two of these on the stack at the same time, with the intention of targeting the same card, they don't actually enter the battlefield. Instead, the beams get crossed and the Stay Pufft Marshmallow Man (13/13 Flying Hexproof Indestructible Trample Legendary Creature- Marshmallow Zombie Spirit Demon)
comes in and kills the crap out of everyone.)

Edit: Wizards? I WAS JOKING WIZARDS! I WAS JOKING!!!!!! :O

hm. Withengar Unbound huh? that's...new. and evil -.-
Looks like we have our Stay Pufft Marshmallow Demon after all.....now the question is how to combine him Ghostbuster Mage and Ghostbuster's Rig....

Got one of these at the pre-release, and he is as good as everyone says. Won my last game by playing him at the end of my opponent's turn, flashing back Midnight Haunting, then on my turn dropping a land, playing and equipping an inquisitor's flail to a moon heron, popping selfless cathar and swinging for 14. Even with cards that already have flashback, he makes the flashback cheaper. Great card, now I only need 3 more...

I don't think I'm the only one under the impression that if he didn't have flash, he'd be much less valuable. Sure, I can play it on my turn and Day of Judgment again. But why not play it on yours, and Negate you out of the graveyard?

And that's just the tip of the iceberg with this guy. Mark my words, Blue/White control, maybe even Esper control, will make you absolutely loathe this card.

Why?

After pulling one in prerelease, this guy is absurdly powerful. You'd be a fool not to pick this first in draft, just bringing back something like Rebuke can completely change the face of the game.

Just think what he'll do in Constructed. If you're going to pack a punch, may as well do it twice.

Anyone care to explain why this isn't the top-rated card in Innistrad?

Yeah. Pretty bonkers card advantage, AND he swings for two. Mystical Teachings on legs.

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.
