@HotHit Strictly better and strictly different aren't the same thing. Unsummon doesn't hit planeswalkers, artifacts, or enchantments, and doesn't have any synergy with untap effects.

I'm casual but playing this along triton tactics on a heroic creature could be a nice instant trick.

Very fun spell, cheap, and hits near everything on the board. Have used this extremely well in limited. It can work with heroic just fine, but really shines on the weak P/T inspired creatures. Just watch out as you'll bleed card advantage. Sphinx's Disciple is nice limited synergy, as is Siren of the Silent Song.

So you're saying for Blue I can...

Trigger Heroic or Inspired
Get around pro-blue if I running multi-color
Save 1 colorless if you have a dude (over cyclonic rift and such)

Best part? If they counter, you know before your guy is tapped, but still get the Heroic Trigger. If they don't counter, it's gonna be a bit harder to stop an activated ability.

Favorite play? Blocking with a Heroic dude that gets +1/+1 for his heroic trigger, then casting this (because you can tap a blocker and there is no downside), growing him and using him to bounce an unblocked creature. If all else fails, cast Triton Tactics and trigger it again and bounce another guy!

Is it worth pitching two cards for that effect? Well, if you didn't kill the attack, you blocked some major damage (because your guy got +2/+5 for those keeping track), set them two casts behind, and give yourself another chance to counter those when the opponent cast them, which won't be hard considering you only spent ... (see all)

Play this on a Ink-Treader Nephilim and let the games begin! Not very worth competively but fun to watch at least.
