I hate this card! It turns off too much stuff. It even makes Birthing Pod useless. It Also ruins Green Sun's Zenith. It even makes Sun Titan worse. Needless to say it negates all flashback effects. And just when I was getting excited about Havengul Lich!

Screw you, Wizards.
I understand the need for cards like this, but your timing is *horrible*,
and the card is so easy to use it's not even close to balanced-
play this on turn one, *any* deck based on GY or library effects dies unless they can remove it
(which is difficult for U and B, the two colors most affected by this).
And Nihil Spellbomb isn't constantly oppressive- this thing hoses decks until it's removed or the game is over.
You print AWESOME cards like Havengul Lich,
and then you ruin them by printing this sh*t in THE SAME SET.
Bravo.
Why don't you just hand the keys to Standard and Block to aggro decks,
while hosing creative new deck ideas before they're even born (Heartless Lich)?
Who needs variation in deck design?
Here's to hoping this card is banned in Block at the very least.
It has NO BUSINESS in this block, period.
It stifles the entire core of Innistrad.
It would be like printing a one mana COLORLESS Enchantment in... (see all)

(Wizards) Oh gee, we made too many cards that interact from the Graveyard, and Snapcaster is OP. I know, let's hose the ENTIRE THEME OF THE SET and MANY MANY good decks.
Thanks wizards.
@Shard_Fenix: My Green/Blue self mill deck is based off a netdeck. It takes a LOT of skill to play. I have altered it significantly. This completely HOSES all the chance this deck had. People at my local FNM, most of whom have too much money to spare, will buy 4 of them just to put in the sideboard to hose "that little jerk with the self-mill deck who punked me last week."

best card in the set by far in my opinion, i mean flashback and all the other cards are so good, you know thats what everyone one will want to play. This card wrecks them for one mana of any color. Love it and unlike so many cards that are good in a set but suck everywhere else this will just get better and better. Bye bye grave born decks and heck just a lot of great classic decks. everyone run two in sideboard

Rather bothersome, but far from uninteresting; I kinda enjoy it, and I play a lot of flashback. I think this card is just fine after printing Mikeus the Uncombo'ed. Sure, it can mess your day up, and for just 1 mana, but seriously, it only REALLY hurts mono-black, which seems to be the intention of the card from a flavor perspective anyway - and even then, you can just run Gate to Phyrexia, or Phyrexian Tribute if you're real ballsy. I think it would have been better as the second black leyline, as Black has always been the color with the most love/hate for graveyards

Good card, but it should have been printed in Avacyn Restored
why all the hate though?

Wonderful. Just when i was thinking about getting back into magic and saw that i could actually make a competitive zombie deck, they go and print this card. Way to go, WOC. -_-

If this is how people are going to react because their favorite strategy got hosed, then I agree with Wizards printing this card. How about building more than one kind of deck?
