Anyone else get the impression that the rating is this low simply because it's a common, because I feel like it would be at least a 4 if it were rare. Considering it is a neat little trick that, among other uses, can blink out a creature targeted with a hard removal spell, it deserves higher. It can also be used to reset a card with a good ETB effect without netting you minuses. At the very least it makes for a surprise bear, something that proves quite useful in colors that have a lot of draw power and not much one-for-one removal.
I'm giving it a 4, It's not terribly flashy but it is a good card nonetheless.

I thought it sucked when I saw it in the 25 cent common box, but I had just bought a blue/white intro pack so I grabbed it anyways. And wow, I'm gonna go back for 3 more cuz I love it. I use it to reset Clone, Jace's Mindseeker, Fiend Hunter, and Lyev Skyknight. It's also good for saving creatures before they die from battle or card effects, how is it only a common and how is the rating on here so low.

When you are playing 2-headed giant or another multiplayer format, an ally can bounce your own Fanatic of Mogis or Gray Merchant of Asphodel for some serious lulz.

This is going to be huge. Give it time.
EDIT 3/3/2014: Well, I was wrong. It's odd, it seems strong, but things just didn't work out for it. The reason it never took off in UW Control is obvious; the deck has only 1 creature and it can protect itself just fine. It seems like it should be fantastic in Esper Humans.
