Pulled two of these at prerelease, and I instantly thought that I should buy two more and sideboard. But then I hopped on Gatherer and noticed how everyone was complaining that it killed half of the decks in standard. So I think I will just wait for the inevitable price hike, sell them, and laugh when everyone expects them to still be in my sideboard.

Problem, Cascade/Flashback/Persist/Undying/Unearth?

If I have learned anything over the past month, it is that this card is one of the best cards in every format it is legal in. If nothing else, it saved me from cascade, undying, doubling chant, loyal cathar, flashback, and graveborn.

@LPfan55 - you can't cast from library in current standard, but cage completely kills any creature tutoring with GSZ or Pod. The added benefit of killing any Snap flashback and Undying is just nice. Yes, plenty of artifact hate around already, but still very good card.

Why hate on graveyard and fetch decks? I wish this read counter spells can't be cast from hands or graveyards. Snapecaster needs some balance not graveyard cards. What a shame. Still I'm getting 4 lol

Easily the most important card in the set for Standard play.

Why do you hate dredge so much, R&D? You're the guys that made it.
I have several decks that this would substantially hurt, especially since they banned Mental Misstep in legacy. I'm more afraid of this than Tormod's Crypt now.

Come on Wizards. You print all this fun graveyard stuff, then print this, which every competitive player will have 4 of in their sideboard. 1/5 for making the metagame less fun.

I feel like this card would have had more of an impact in eternal formats if Tormod's Crypt didn't exist. And then Rest in Peace gets printed a block later.
That being said though, this seems like a really good sideboard for graveyard hate and probably will be for a while. 4/5.
