A great, great 5 star card! Allows some rediculous decks build around it. Well maybe not rediculous in tournament effectiveness but rediculous in annoyingnes. Combine this with Tormod's Crypt, Web of Inertia, Phyrexian Furnace, Scrabbling Claws, Kismet, Black Vise.. even Hibernation. Considered good stuff.

It's always fun to speed out with a Mana Vault.

PeabodyET: I don't see any reason why you would be unable to choose permanents that aren't owned or controlled by you. So you could use this card politically in a multi-player game pretty easily.

@PeabodyET: It does not say 'untap your permanents' so you can untap ANY permanent you wish. Also, it does not say 'target', so it gets around shroud and hexproof. You can untap any legal target on the field, which basically is anything that is currently tapped.

Doesn't even have to be tapped! If you don't want to untap your opponent's permanents, you're free to untap your own Mists of Stagnation or Web of Intertia, or even lands that are already untapped. You just have to choose permanents equal to the number of cards in your graveyard, and then they all untap.
Also, endorsing this to be used with Web of Inertia, Lost in Thought, Nihil Spellbomb, Withered Wretch, and Icy Manipulator. Others work, too, but those give you a good jumping-off point.

A great card in this format. Good with other Odyssey block card like...
White: Selfless Exorcist, Shieldmage Advocate, Funeral Pyre;
Black: Grave Consequences, Rats' Feast, Morality Shift, Guiltfeeder, Chainer, Dementia Master, Carrion Rats, Carrion Wurm or, in Onslaught block: Entrails Feaster, Withered Wretch...;
Blue: Quiet Speculation, Lost in Thought, Web of Inertia, Grip of Amnesia, Circular Logic, Breakthrough, Compulsion, Cephalid Illusionist, Carefull Study...
... and with any green or white Advocate in Judgment.

Relic of Progenitus or Scrabbling Claws does WONDERS with this card. Add in Orb of Dreams and You've strangled your opponent.

Could be decent in locking down the opponent with a U/B self-mill reanimate deck. Combo with Sleep, Nihil spellbomb, and Puppet strings.

Hate this card soooo much. Even if you find something to deal with it, you probably didn't have a graveyard when it came out (assuming your opponents deck is built correctly), and thus you pretty much skipped a turn to 1 for 1 your opponent. I don't think I've won a game where this hit the table.
