This card is repugnantly overrated. He's no waste of paper, of course, but he's not something that's totally unparalelled for its cost like Goyf, Dark Confidant, Stoneforge, JTMS. Some of those cards released at a much lower price than this and are far better in that they're irreplaceable. Not every deck of such type will want to run this, and some will even want to run more specific ETB effects instead. Examples?

Flashback Doom Blade? Seen it before - Nekrataal.
Flashback Counterspell? Hello, Mystic Snake.
Shock? Yeah, Fire Imp is cool, I guess.
Innocent Blood/Edict? Fleshbag Marauder and Gatekeeper of Malakir saw play, didn't they?
Thoughtseize? I suppose it's nice to have some permanency in my Tidehollow Sculler, though I do have to pay a m... (see all)

I Seriously am getting too many of this bad card. I somehow managed to trade this for several cards including a Giest of Saint Traft.

Crappy art, way overpowered, and flavor not fitting the set in general. This is a terrible card in Innistrad :(

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.

I honestly am so happy he is about $30 a pop, I have pulled now 9 of these. No joke, Saturday after release, bought 9 packs, pulled 1, traded guy at the store for 9 more packs, pulled another, traded him again for 9 more packs, pulled another, and pulled my fourth, he traded me 9 last packs and I didnt pull any others until just recently when I pulled about 5 in the last 30 packs. This guy is all to common in my eyes

A deliberately designed broken card just like Phyrexian Obliterator. At least not mythic. Power creep is too obvious here. Sad to see this kind of force feed sellers. 0,5/5

Hangover references aside, this card A.) Still enters the battlefield, even if there is an opposing Curse of Death's Hold on you, and B.) Cannot let you cast the costless Time Spiral spells for free. Giving those spells flashback as per Snapcaster's ability will result in them having the ability Flashback , which is a nonexistent cost and therefore cannot be paid.

!Wrong!

If you couldn't cast the costless Time Spiral spells for free for the reasons you claim the how can you cast them in the first place? The mechanic flashback alone gives you the ability to play that card from your graveyard. it does not say that it has to have a converted mana cost of 1 or... (see all)

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....

Snapcaster's flavor text should be
"Thank you, sir. May I have another?"

Yeah, I was looking at this card the wrong way. I was thinking along the lines of "Oh hey, I can pay three for a one mana instant, this is crap".

Then when I play an FNM and see 5 straight B/U control decks Snapping back their Mana Leaks and Go for the Throat, I notice how awesome it is to recur some kill or counters. Even if they're just Snapping a Ponder, it still sets them up for a severely smooth game.

Freaking blue being broken all day long.

@mflanaga It would appear not. I checked the ruling for Runic Repetition.

An effect that gives flashback to an instant or sorcery card in your graveyard stops applying once that card has left the stack. The card won't have flashback while exiled and can't be the target of Runic Repetition (unless it naturally has flashback).

Not that my opinions count for much, but I tend to agree with Justice1337. People are ready to bend-over backwards and start dealing crack for this guy; but it's pretty plain to see, he is just another copy of a card... plus two mana. You really, really want to counter something? Avarage counter is two mana; who on EARTH is going to leave FOUR MANA open just to counter? I think, if I were on the other side of the table, I'd see that coming, and force your hand - since, after all, I may not be able to see your hand, but your Graveyard is fair play, so I can see everything you'll try before you do it - or, more simply put, you can't really do anything I haven't seen you do already, so I know to be ready for it in advance and can use that against you.


Don't get me wrong, he's a pretty cool guy, but he makes blue way too easy to predict - which is never, ever something that works out in it's favor in the long-run.

Traded one of these for a Karn Liberated and Jace, Memory Adept. I think I was on the better end of the deal.

I havent read all 40 pages of comments. But, I'm very surprised its only $26 bucks. Just to start, think of the almighty P9 cards. The 3 P9 cards that have color are blue. And then all 3 are instants/sorceries. imagine playing Recall TWICE on turn 1... :D
