What an awesome card! I think it's quite usable even outside of Stasis decks.

I don't see what a mask on a stick has to do with resetting, but whatever, I'll take it.

Excellent card for Stasis decks but I'm not really sure why you can't play it during their upkeep....

Isochron Scepter make opponents cry with this card. Stasis aside, it's simply evil to run a control deck and effectively remove the old "tapped out" weakness of counterspells. With counterspelled (or remanded, or snapped, take your pick) Isochron Scepters as well, there's not much your foe can do.

Strictly worse than Blinkmoth Infusion in an entirely artifact deck if you've got >=12 artifacts.

I know Swordfish is making a joke, but if there's an "if," it's not strictly worse.

This is the card that powers High Tide combo decks, probably still the most powerful mono-blue combo deck. (Turn 3 or 4, you High Tide and Reset/Turnabout/Candelabra of Tawnos into a ton of mana, culminating in a gigantic Braingeyser/Stroke of Genius aimed at your opponent. Best I've seen was Stroke for 113, using some crazy phenomenal tricks.) The banning of Mystical Tutor makes High Tide Combo harder to play, but it's still pretty awesome to watch it go off.
I guess the "after the upkeep" clause is to ensure the opponent gets to draw before you kill them. :)

Italian versions of this card have STAP in all caps where they tell you to untap your lands. It's funny, and while you and your opponent are having a good laugh you get to combo out and kill them. Everyone wins! (But mostly you)

A good card, with out being too abuse-able.

I love this card for what it did in spawning solidarity, one of the greatest deck building feats of all time (a deck built to win on their turn) i've been teaching people to play competitive magic, and being able to win with solidarity is always the final test.

If MTG ever had a Pez dispenser, this would be it!
