Use with Panoptic Mirror and Djinn Illuminatus.

Strange that this is the only card with 'Non-Existent Mana Costs Cannot Be Paid' its not on any of the suspend cards or pacts...
still this seams decent, {2} for a cantrip seams to be about average, although not usually at the cost of two cards
2.5/5 Stars

Greatest Draw card in the world.

Why all the hate? With it in your hand you can add to any arcane spell to make it a cantrip. Not optimal no, but its interesting and certainly usable. Maybe in mono-blue people would scoff, but its fun to attach this to a Lava Spike or a Kodama's Reach.

@Blackworm_Bloodworm Erm, *no*. If the rule is as stated "can't be played", then suspend simply doesn't work, because if you don't allow the card to be played, then the card can't be played by suspend. You'd have to put in a specific exception that suspend cards can't be cascaded, as "has no CMC" would cause ridiculous problems with a lot of cards.
And broken combos is what Legacy or "My House Rules" is about.

@Hunter06
Yes. And what a coincidence that the old errata would have ended up preventing a lot of problems that exist in the present.
Had all cards with no mana cost retained the errata originally printed on this card, including bombs like Hypergenesis, Ancestral Vision, and Living End for example (all 'problem' cards as deemed by modern rulings...), then they wouldn't have been cascadable by cards such as Bloodbraid Elf (another 'problem card' pointlessly banned), and instead would have been playable only as they were intended: through splicing or suspend.
And as a result, none of these cards would have had to be banned in Modern, since there would be no problems. Thank God I still have my house rules...
*sigh* WotC... *facepalm*

@deworde2510
Nice hate-rate. It's almost like you don't even understand what I'm trying to do here. Suspend cards could be errata'd so that they are on... (see all)

Giving this card a manacost of {U} would've been too strong compared to Reach Through Mists. {1}{U} seems reasonable, but I don't hate it for not having a manacost.

The idea behind the card was good, just not a lot of cards to support the use of it. It used to be more powerful and did see competitive play. Originally "Evermind is Blue" changed the color of the spell it was spliced onto although Wizards didn't consider this. This allowed for red burn to get past protection while drawing more cards.

Name makes it sound much more powerful than it is.
