"pre alara, this card gets 4
post alara, with Bant being all about 1 creature attacking, this card epic fails
kinda wondering if the design teams talked to each other about this and bant"

Actually, while he happens to be wrong about playability (I assume I know what he means by epic fail, but as you will see, it might NOT be what you think), Gear makes a comment about how this is not at all synergistic with what the Design Team wanted to with Bant.
Sure, cheating a big giant dork into play turned out to be a lot more powerful than trying to Build-A-Dork out of different smaller cards, but if you read the Mothership, you'll that Wizards does care about weaving Blocks together to enable cross-block synergies, and thus give Standard a rough shape.
From a deck building standpoint, this card is blatantly good and strong-- however, from a Design or Development standpoint, I could after reading Gear's comment very well imagine that some team memeber might say 'doesn't work well the new mechanic that we want to be exciting. Pulling out of the file, and saving for a later set.'
Just because a Gatherer comment seems confusing, doesn't always mean the poster is stupid. Gear isn... (see all)

This card makes it sound like you can play a sorcery at instant speed. Is that the case?

I don't know about Standard, but in Modern and Legacy, this card is honestly worse than basic Plains. And if you disagree, please show me a game of MTGO on Youtube where it has EVER won for someone. I have never seen it happen.
Just take this card out of your deck. You will win more often. Believe me.

Would it be possible to flicker this card and have hideaway's built up? i would think it'd mean you lose the first card to exile but the rules don't say anything about it, if you could then it would be fun to play with Venser the Sojourner
