it costs 4B as it is infact a blue spell, you are just paying an alternate mana cost yet still casting it so your familiars' ability does infact take effect.

Most fun card ever. Who doesn't love instant speed toolboxes with card advantage built in?

Very powerful way for UB control decks to stabilize in the mid game and close out the late game. When you have this card in hand after you've stabilized, the feeling towards your opponent is "It doesn't matter what you topdeck. I have an answer for it."
The flashback on the card makes it awkward to counter because they are generally countering half of a card, yet often the opponent doesn't have a choice but to counter it given it's power.
Also worth noting is that if you resolve this card during your own turn and get a split second spell (Krosan Grip for example), your opponent will not have a chance to respond between the resolution of the spell and your casting the split second spell (to destroy an Umezawa's Jitte with counters on it, for example).

It's a tutor that generates card advantage. That's awesome if you ask me.
