See, this card fits great into my Dimir mill deck. Rest In Peace and Tormod's Crypt remove all cards from the graveyards, which would reduce my Consuming Abberation to a 0/0. I like this because it keeps the cards safely in the graveyards while preventing any flashback or zombifying shenanegins.

Well this will certainly have an interesting effect on the meta of every format it's legal in. It shuts down quite a few powerful strategies if it goes unanswered.
I'm not going to complain but it seems that this was a bad idea(from a flavor perspective) to print this in Dark ascension. I think it's flavor really matches Avacyn Restored more since this set is all about darkness and evil running rampant. It seems odd that these undying critters would be such a large threat when you could just call a artificer and have him make a cage for a measly one mana.

@pedrodyl: The cage is better than Nihil Spellbomb because it can also stop Birthing Pod and Green Sun’s Zenith.
@Axelle: I have to agree with you. The best blue zombies don’t come into play from the graveyard, they just exile cards from the graveyard, and the cage does nothing to prevent that from happening.
@Swords_to_exile and @Snafinturtle: There are a lot of cards that allow you to cast spells from your library, I don’t know where you guys are getting two and four respectively. Besides the four that were mentioned, Spellshift can be used to cast a spell out of your library, Panglacial Wurm can be cast from the library, and all of the cards with “Ripple” (Surging Flame) can cast cards from your library.
@LPFan55 and @Chmur: In the current standard, there’s Galvanoth and Garruk’s Horde that can cast cards from ... (see all)

Easily the most controversial card in the set. But you know what I'm most happy about? It's not a Mythic. It's a card that will be very important in all formats, and they restrained themselves from making it a Mythic.

Haters gonna hate.
Does this really kill Zombies? The only cards I can think of that this card hates against are Geralf's Messenger, Gravecrawler, and Moan of the Unhallowed. And even then, they aren't affected much.
Has anybody actually playtested this card yet?

I wasn't going to cast that Panglacial Wurm anyway. =/

O' the hate. Quite whining- as much as i love reanimate, part of what makes Magic so intuitive is you must constantly account for new threats from every set, new and old, and every deck concept that questions your deck's very existence. You cant simply rely on your own inherent strategy to win you the game flat out, you must always prepare for an element of risk. This doesnt spell doom in and of itself, and there will always be ways to deal with it should the need arise (asuming you choose to leave a card slot or two, or three for such a purpose)
Afterall, thats why they printed cards like Ancient Grudge...

I don't really see how this card should affect libraries, considering its a cage around coffins, unless you keep all your spells there. Though its quite funny imagining all-poweful godly planeswalkers stumped by these cages.
Liliana: Now to reanimate all of the corpes here and build an undead army! Wait... not SPIKY METAL! FOILED AGAIN!

Would anyone have cared if Misstep hadn't been banned?
