You were right, Chamal. 3 Snapcaster in Marc Lanigra's Grixis Control deck, which won 1st in GenCon Vintage 2012.

The date is September 22, 2011.
Within one year, Snapcaster Mage will be included in a deck that wins a major Vintage tournament.

Clearly, he should be recurring your Snaps.

Probably #1 on Ravnica's most wanted... I mean, the whole set was pretty much made against him.

Awesome card, but seems out-of-place with the flavor of Innistrad. I'll admit he's got the cool gavony style paldrons and a zappy gun that appears to be powered by geists, however his expression is of distant longing.
He pines for the wonderful plane of Ravnica where he can share his knowledge of flashback mechanics with the Izzet guild and get in heated, sexually tense arguments with Ash Zealot
Nothing would make him happier than to look downward and see the little golden Ravnica symbol at his feet, but with a sigh he soldiers on, reluctantly helping the foolish townsfolk stave off the vile creatures that dwell in the dark plane of Innistrad.

This is why lightning bolt, giant growth, and preordain weren't reprinted.

If he lives up to the hype (currently $30 a pop) I have a feeling the only reprint we'll see is in a future "From the Vault: blue cards that empty your wallet" set.
What a shame...

I'd play this even if it were just an instant without a creature attached. So ridiculous.

It might not be the best use for Snapcaster Mage, but use it to flashback Runic Repetition. Priceless.
