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?

@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.

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.

guys. guys. he isn't actually THAT insane in standard...

it's the things he could do in legacy that'll be interesting.
edit: although the banning of Mental Misstep was actually a blow to his playability. I mean. getting to pay 1u for a 2/1 and misstepping someone AGAIN? that is just totally brutal.

I don't like this at all.. it just seems so "auto-include" if you're running any form of blue control. I imagine he will be almost as common as stoneforge mystic was before the ban.. why wouldn't you want a 2/1 flash for 2 that lets you reuse your spells?!

This card is one of the best blue creatures ever printed and definitely will see play in every format. Not only that, I actually LIKE the card (the art, not so much).

Easy 5/5 for me.

I'd play this even if it were just an instant without a creature attached. So ridiculous.

If you want a red version, the closest I could find is Recoup, which trades the 2/1 body, instant speed, and the ability to flashback instants for an actual flashback cost.

@Lifegainwithbite
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.

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.
