I have 4 Unsummons and 4 Silent Departures, along with 4 Runic Repetitions. I get 20 permanents off my battlefield. Even though this is a Sorcery, it's a more then decent card, especially for a common.

This should be rated much much higher than the 2.5 range, maybe people don't like that its a sorcery and not instant?

This card is great for moorland humans it works to keep control's wurmcoils out of the way, and it keeps other aggro off tempo while not disrupting yours!

This card and Grasp of Phantoms come very close to being this format's Into the Roil, but they have big shoes to fill because that's one of the best bounce cards ever.

So many people forget this is a sorcery. I've had at least 3 opponents try to cast it on my turn. It happened so many times that one time an opponent did cast it on his turn and I immediately said "Nope, its a sorcery," and he just kind of stared at me and it took me a moment to realize, oh wait, it actually is his turn, he actually can cast it.

I thought, "What fantastic art!" and then saw John Avon's name and thought, "Of course!" with a smile.

People see blue and think control. This is actually a great card for beatdown. Get those blockers out of there to get that last few points of damage in.

Compare and contrast dematerialize. Sure, it's not the best unsummon effect ever(capsize gets that honour), but it's still very good. You might think that sorcery kills this card, while actually you only need that instant unsummon to either mess up gang blocking or getting rid of something with haste.

Plus, look at the sweet art.
