Duels of the Planeswalkers may not be the most hardcore incarnation of MTG, but holy hell the Dodge and Burn deck's 4-of Remand makes it fun. Well, fun for you and your other cheap spells and Wee Dragonauts, not so much for your opponents. Pongify, then Remand your own monkey-maker, then cast it again to get +6/+0 on any and all Dragonauts and dispose of their flying blocker, for effectively one card and four mana. No Pongify targets? Do the same thing with Peek for the same result except instead of removing a blocker you look at their hand and the whole thing costs zero net cards. All at instant speed.
Of course Remand is awesome for playing the tempo game, too, and just as often it'll keep their answer to your Dragonauts off the board for the necessary turn. Amazing card in the deck all-around; you'll almost never have trouble finding a good use for it.
Edit: Oh, and this thing lets you hedge your lethal swing like cr... (see all)

People who don't realize what a bomb this is for tempo. When you're facing down a GoST with four mana and have a Lingering Souls in your hand, the last thing you want for your opponent to have is Remand, probably with Tiago. If they have a Mana Leak you can instead pseudo-Time Walk them back thanks to the magic of flashback. If you don't get a cheap threat out out, it is an admittedly finicky Time Walk, plus you draw a card. Still follows the rule that there are better and worse Time Walk casts as well. Out of the games I won today, all of them came from a concede after a Remanded spell. Of course if you aren't applying pressure (did you effect their clock? will you burn/attack/combo them out first now if nothing changes?) it is merely a small amount of time. Yes, there are reasons to run Mana Leak. Grindy decks will get little from Remand. But, that said... it ... (see all)

A really great design, I just wish they had called this "Uncast."

Anyone who thinks this card is bad is an idiot that doesn't know the game. Stop trying to be tough on the internet @Silence9
