Others can hate me as much as they want. Stasis decks lost needing white and that's great. I love that they did this.

yeah, mono-blue can make better use of this than mono-white with Kismet.

This is one of my favorite cards in my mono blue deck. Your opponent plays a land waits a turn to use it and then summons a creature then you counter spell. Repeat if necessary.

Favorite card #4. My top three are:
1. stasis 2. Chronatog 3. Vedelkan Mastermind
I like how it says "does not affect cards that phase in" twice in the rulings.

It's too bad all people who enjoyed playing Stasis decks were hunted down and killed by angry mobs of goblin players years ago. Not having to splash white would have made them happy.

I still play Stasis build and I love how they made all the cards needed to make it work blue!

With Serra Sphinx and Frozen Aether, the Stasis deck can be monoblue o_o

Isn't this better than Kismet? Kismet says that artifacts, creatures, and lands your opponents play enter the battlefield tapped. This says artifacts, creatures, and lands your opponents control enter the battlefield tapped.
As worded, Kismet doesn't affect tokens, right? Since they're never cast. But this does!

How handy. I'm surprised that this hasn't been reprinted at least once.

@JoshMagic Phasing is not being removed from the game. Exile is different. Phasing is still in play, but not able to be affected or targeted. This and Kismet only affect newly played perms. Phasing is one ability I wish would get reprinted. Even if they changed the name, à la Fading/Vanishing.
@Azazyel Yes both would affect tokens. Kismet is older than most token decks, oracle might have not updated it as such. Even looking at the ruling for Frozen Æther, it shows this is the same card working the same way ... just updated in blue. Backwards logic would dictate that Kismet would affect tokens.

The fourth ruling of Frozen Æther is that it does not affect cards that phase in. The sixth ruling of Frozen Æther is that it does not affect cards that phase in.
