Pretty amazing card! It keeps big creatures and itself(!) more or less safe...

I used this on Skeletal Vampire a couple of times and my opponent was ***ed off by the many bats that entered the battlefield every time the vampire died...^^

Best card for stealing creatures, just get some spot removal or attrition.

I always liked stealing creatures permanently without an aura, creature, or artifact holding it down that my opponent can just destroy.

This is an altered version of False Demise btw.

Steals their general in EDH!!
This and Spin into Myth merit a look for any blue EDH deck for their general-removing capabilities.

Imagine this with Horobi, Death's Wail: Mind Control or Persuasion as sorcery with buyback 0!

@PapikCZ: Actually that would not work with Horobi, b/c Fool's Demise would get countered, and its second ability would not get a chance to trigger.

Forget Ramses Overdark, this card goes better in a Child of Alara EDH deck.

The first time that I drafted this thing I managed to get it on a an opponent's Magus of the Disk and blow him up. Fun times.

Works extremely well withHomarid Spawning Bed and any card that has an "When this creature is put in the graveyard" or "when (card name) enters the battlefield, (effect)" as the sacrifice target. Sea Gate Oracle and Darkslick Drake come in mind, since they're the cards i used for this high cost recycling strategy.

Fool's Demise + Academy Researchers + Blasting Station/Altar Of Dementia (or the sacrifice engine of your choice). So long as you stack the triggers right, thats infinite right there.

I'm going to see if I can commission some art alterations: a playset of Academy Researchers painted to look like the Ghostbusters, a playset of Blasting Station painted to look like proton guns, and a playset of Fool's Demise painted to look like the Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man...

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Total. Protonic. Reversal.

I stick it on my Tidewalkers. Every recursion makes them stronger!

Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.

This card is referencing False Demise and is part of a cycle of cards referencing the Rancor-style aura cycle from Urza's Legacy.
