With Forbidden Orchard, this card is almost always better than Unsummon. The only problem with that strategy is that you need to be ready to bounce a creature on the same turn your opponent plays it...unless you have two Orchards in play or something like Pongify to add to the mix.

Also fun with Hunted Phantasm and the likes. It's probably best with Hunted Horror, since it quite nicely cleans up the mess. It's effectively a 7/7 trampler for BlueBlackBlack that requires you to discard a card (the Trap), and that seems quite okay to me. I liked Hidden Horror and even Cosmic Larva, and this combo just embarrasses them both.

The closest equivalent is Undo, which, while quite good, is a sorcery, and therefore not quite as useful. Quicksi... (see all)

An alright little card. Feel free to use it if an opportunity to cast it cheaply comes up, otherwise hold onto it until late in the game. Probably best a sideboard material against tribal and combo.

2 for 1 is always fun.

Glad to see at least one person mention Hunted Horror.

At worst, it's two Unsummons for one more than the price of two Boomerangs. And it's not exactly rare for someone to summon two creatures a turn, either.

This looks like a card for a bounce/counter deck :)

all those strategies about holding on to your cards against a counter deck and try to out-cast the blue mage.

and if the spells are creatures, well, this trap is awesome :)

Well doesn't that make aggro mad?

Great card for countering your opponent if they play lots of creatures per turn. Great respones from this.

Very under-rated trap card imo. (By which I mean I never see it used.)
The Blue cost is nice, but the double bounce can be pretty damn useful for the hardcast.
