A good sideboard card. Yes, it does appear to hose certain strategies, but it also promotes tactical thinking when deck building and playing. If you know they are prevalent in your area, plan for them and build your sideboard appropriately.
3.5/5

Cheap artifacts and enchantments such as this and ground seal are what let people know that WOTC finally decided that they made a mistake when they invented the grave born. You can only imagine the look on my friend's face when I played this card against him while he was using his. It's not like I couldn't beat him before, but it was so much fun to see his face become enraged when I dropped this on turn 1.

1 mana artifact that reads = Destroy one of the most powerful Legacy archetypes. Yeah, this is going to be an auto include in nearly all Legacy decks. Funnily enough, not as powerful against vintage dredge...

This says, "Oh, you paid lots of money and got expensive cards in your EDH deck like Green Sun's Zenith, Defense of the Heart, and Pattern of Rebirth? Well F**K YOU!"
Sorry, I JUST noticed the "-and libraries" part.

@adrian.malacoda : If you have a Naturalize in your hand, it slows you down a bit. But if you do not, it slows down for one, two, three... turns. In Standard, it may be acceptable to lose one turn (Even, I'm not sure), but in Modern, Legacy and especially Vintage, this can cause you to lose the game.

Oracle should read:
'Destroy target reanimation deck. That deck's controller can't play flashback cards. Buy him/her a beer to re-enstate your friendship.'
