The flavor should read "You will learn to pay its mana cost"

this is probably the most versatile card in the entire game (definitely the most versatile removal for a good cost), and it's a historic card for blue. it's been around for a long time but it's always been good. it's pretty much the base of blue. I give it a 5/5.

After that unfortunate accident with the woodchipper, Izzy's drawings of hands were never quite the same...

Strictly worse than the upcoming New Phyrexia Vapor Snag. Unless you want to use unsummon on your own creatures of course...

People really underestimate the color wheel in terms of removal. While I admit that white has some of the most powerful and efficient removal in the game (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Condemn, etc.) blue removal strictly stops things from existing temporarily, or forces it to never see play, which in many ways is the fastest and most disruptive removal. And blue is the color of pure disruption.

Blue removal hits the battlefield, sometimes hits the hand, and really slashes the throat when it comes to the library and the stack, two incredibly important zones in the game. In fact, those two zones are tyrannized by things like Mana Leak and Tome Scour/ Traumatize.

Neosapiens have 3 fingers and 2 thumbs, but are still blue.
