I think I have been waiting for this card since I started back in Odyssey.

It's like going through life hoping to see that one person, that one other half to your soul, giving up for years, getting wrapped up in the grind of daily life, living one day to the next, trying not to get sucked into the horrors that befall humanity.

Then, in the most unlikely of places, you look across the bar, and that other person is there, looking straight back. Time stops, and the first genuine smile to cross your face in years lights up the room with an intensity that blinds onlookers, and you jump from your seat and embrace this person, and they you, and suddenly all the problems in the world are trivial, and meaningless, and nothing is too far out of reach because you have found that person, and to hell with life, because it is now what you make of it.


And for that reason, I bought a playset.

I like the metaphysical question involved with this card - is the token the soul of the original, or a magical copy? Like any clone, your poor token will be doomed to wonder if he's really the same creature, or if he's just an echo of another. Even the art adds to this mystique - who's coming back, and who's drifting away? Much more that "creatures have flashback."

If it really bugs you, there is an answer to this question. You'll have to go on a long voyage, through forests, over mountains, and into the depths of the sea. Seek out the cave of Comprehensive Rules, and speak the encantation found on scroll 400.7

CREATURES NOW HAVE FLASHBACK!!! -cheers-

Wow, it's like giving all the creature cards in your graveyard flashback. Except, unlike unearth, they don't vanish at the end of the turn.

That sound of a million Johnnys dying of enthusiastic heart palpitation.
