A Red Wall, 0/5 for 3, and has an unsummon ability...hmm...OH, and reach too. Care to elaborate, why it's not a good card?

Most of the time, I think that walls are a waste of space... This wall, however, makes burn decks a little less risky to play. Nothing like forcing your opponent to bounce his best attacker each turn. :-)

Love it. Red needs more like this.

This would pretty likely be a blue Wall if it wasn't printed in Planar Chaos. Gotta love that set with all these mixed up effects regarding colors.
But i love Wizards' experiments with red bounce (restricted to creatures you don't control). Stingscourger for instance is also great fun.

This card is frustrating. It unsummons the best attacker causing you to delay a turn just to get rid of it. If you don't run removal, you're gonna have a hard time. You can even enchant this guy with stat boosters or use cards like Valor Made Real which makes it more frustrating.

And I love it.

5/5

So...it's basically a huge, durable trampoline. Great.

Entangler. Then give it Eland Umbra. Then watch everyone cry.

Based on Wall of Tears?

among the 5 best defenders in magic, can bounce from land or air, and 5 toughness is hard to remove without straight-out destruction. all for 1RR. 4 of these in the maindeck almost always buys more than enough time versus aggro decks, considering you shouldn't need much time playing red. 5 stars.

I kinda like the 5 toughness for 3 cost, and the ability is awesome too.

@Mode: "This would pretty likely be a blue Wall if it wasn't printed in Planar Chaos."

Oh, definitely.
I would be interested to see how it would change if made into a 1RedBlue wall...

Yes TheSuperbloop. Clearly based on the Wall of Tears.

4/5
its still a wall, slowing down you offense so your endgame had better be better than your oponents
and its 3 mana slowing your buildup process for whatever endgame youre aiming at. 1R and wall of tears in red would be better imo
still wall of razors and this in a red deck when you cant find a good manascheme and you want something slow to work^^

Compare to the classic Wall of Stone. You get a lot more effect but a good chunk of toughness less.
Reach is always worth it on a defender though, even without the bounce ability.

...Am I really the only one to see a giant, hairy labia?

I just realized that it bounces before anyone deals damage. The five toughness is practically just a burn-deterrent.

The image of a Raging Goblin, running full-force at this, then being flung back into non-existence, sounds hilarious.

@NoobOfLore: "At end of combat" is most definitely after combat, not before. I wish I owned some of these.
