Did the flavor text remind anyone else of University of Alabama football?

This card is better that I thought, very solid common, but still... Cryptic Command is better.

@TheSwarm - Boomerang's ability to target lands is exactly why it's actually a LOT stronger than Into the Roil. Don't get me wrong, I love this card - it's versatile and powerful. But with Boomerang, you can return lands to their hand on T2, and that's a game-breaking time to be Time Walked.

Yes, you can use this to bounce something they just played on T2, but that's not really as damning. They've still got their two lands. With Boomerang, they'll be permanently down a land.

Hmmm. I dont like it when they take cards like boomerang and make them almost strictly and blatantly better. Like the only time boomerang is going to be better than this is if you are playing like valkut and u need to bounce it to avoid damage but even then. I guess the ability to get ahead in the mana race is good on boomerangs side. But this one can be a time walk in that respect, take away their play and move ahead one in the card draw. I like it alot

I think this is pretty good

2mana bounce for nonland perm
4mana for an extra draw

goes well with bouncing CIPorETB effect cards you own :D

Boomerang with an optional card draw for 1U... BUENO.

5/5

well, it's the card bounce and the draw card effect in one card but since unsummon covers the first part of this spell with 1 mana, why pay 4 mana for an additional draw-a-card effect. Very expensive in my opinion.
2.5/5

Pretty good card for bouncing Planeswalkers. Either your opponent's or your own if you need to.

@shadowthief15

this card is better than unsummon. Unsummon only bounces creatures... this bounces any nonland permanent... I would gladly pay one more mana to bounce any nonland permanent... and then if I have 2 extra mana, then I would love to draw an extra card. I love this card.

I miss Boomerang. This card is decent, I just miss being able to pull away an enemies land on turn two.
