Hahahaha, this card should be called "Racism." It is a great card though.

Looks like those villigers have been raided quite a few times...look at all the gold they got.

There's so many things wrong with this card: The art's a little odd, drawing cards equaling being paid in gold is a stretch of flavor, and the flavor text talks about villages but this doesn't work if they target your lands.
And yet, this is one of my favorite cards. It has my favorite flavor text, but I also enjoy at least drawing cards if you're going to Terminate my Rafiq of the Many.

Nice flavor text indeed, you often mainly see that humorous kind on red or Goblin-related cards.
But according to it and the artwork, this card should trigger for lands, or even (non-enchantment) permanents in general: In fact there won't be any reparations for you if your opponent Stone Rains your Treetop Village.
...unless it was animated, that is.

The flavor on this card is just hilarious. We'd be hard pressed to find another card to match that in the times to come, without some genius wit and a stroke of luck.
To me, the art and flavor text that goes with it has an anime-esque feel to it; hats off to anyone who could see it.
(edit) Oh no, I have hobbies other than a card game! I must be the harbinger of evil! /sarcasm
Lighten the hell up, guys... or better yet, broaden your horizons a bit.

Oracle Text is fine. Oracle Text is supposed to "Update Cards" the way that Patches in games fix the game.
Sometimes, this means just changing the wording (or code) to make it do what was intended.
Sometimes, Errata and Retcons just flat out change what cards did. Errata is always going to be slightly controversial, but In this case, "to successfully cast a spell" was terminology that used to be used, and now isn't, and was basically the only convenient way to denote what it meant.
Any other attempt to reword 'successfully' to say what it meant, is a bit awkward language.
OPTION A: "Whenever a spell is cast (at all) increases the card's usability against Blue decks, in fact it even becomes something of a hate card against counterspells, because every spell they counter still would now trigger "Reparations"- good flavor for the card! "Sorry I countered your spell. Here's a card."
Now you don't have to counter opponents' counters! (At least, not as badly). A {G}{W}{U} version t... (see all)

Hello there Spellskite. I love that they updated the text for multiplayer goodness.
