As {2}{C} Sorceries with kind of Staple effects ggo, let's compare it to the other colors:


White: Oblivion Ring is really powerful/good, but also a modern invention. There aren't a huge number of White effects I can think of that you want to play at 2C, usually because instead White's going to be dropping big Wrath effects or playing a pinpoint removal spell for C, 1C, or CC.
