Arguably the best Magic card ever.

Ancestral Recall rocks, Concentrate sucks.
6/5

Edit: Wow... Was I really that deluded when I first started playing?
Original quote: "Not game ending though... I would be far less horrified at seeing this than seeing progenitus, or something, on the other side of the field."
Yeah... This card should not be... This card. This card should say something like "Counter target spell unless target player pays three."
Yes, yes, I know that would be broken too; but it wouldn't be this broken, and even then I still think that Dark ritual would be the favorite of the five.
(Although, the one that scares me the most in this cycle, except this one of course, is Lightning not Dark ritual)

BY FAR the best way to win with this card is to put it in a mill deck, then when your opponent only has 2 or fewer cards left, you use this, just to spite them. A troll face is also necessary. Another great one would be using this with the super new Laboratory Maniac to win.

Immensely powerful but I have no idea how this card got its reputation as the most broken spectacular card in MTG history. I can have four hundred of them in a deck its not gonna win.. Idk..
So I've been playing blue a lot more lately, mostly combo stuff, and I can definantly see how this is a great, incredibly wonderful card. I understand now. I think preordain is the best thing since sliced bread, and the ability to draw three cards instead of scrying is fantastic.

I put this on Isochron Scepter. It's not even remotely fair. I Love It.
EDIT:
To the guy who said "sorry to burst your bubble it was never a common" please try and know what you're talking about before saying something is a fact. Ancestral Recall was in fact common in the FIRST version of Alpha.
When Magic was still being play tested, the first set was called "Alpha" but not the one we all know with rounded corners. It was Alpha where walls could attack, and losing all lands of a certain type destroyed all spells of that color. Next came Beta, and then Gamma. After Gamma, came Alpha with the rounded Corners and stuff we know today, then, Another Beta, then Unlimited. The first alpha though not only had Ancestral Recall as a Common, it had Time Walk as a common too, and it was the infamous one that stated "Opponent loses next turn". THAT is a fact ;)

This one is sooooo awesome! Always in my decks :) Anybody playing blue who does not put this charm into his deck hasn't understood the importance of drawing cards for a cheap cost :p It is soooo fun playing with this! :)
Try it at least as a proxy in your decks just for the fun of casting it at least a few times :)
