It's a less selfish Brave the Elements, though more limited in the number of creatures it can potentially affect. Still, getting Rebound makes it more useful than BoE in a lot of situations. I won't be disappointed to find this card in an RoE pack.

This card is just awesome with rebound, you save your creature and then make sure it can get to the enemies life points.. potentially twice.
This is amazing with ashling the extinguisher, sejiri merfolk, any of the specters (such as hypnotic specter), and of course eldrazi, protecting your pathrazer for two turns.

Good effort, but BtE owns it.

absolutely perfect for Exalted decks.

Absolutely brilliant. A limited Brave the Elements for decks that run white, but have too many nonwhite creatures to justify BtE.

Ya this is pretty good, obviously BtE is amazing, but if you have only one or two creatures out this can save your A$$ 2 turns in a row.

Love this card in any deck that utilises the good exalted cards (Sovereigns of Lost Alara, Rafiq of the Many, Finest Hour). The first time you use it, you'll generally save an important creature. On the rebound, it generally forces your opponent's hand - either use some removal in the upkeep and get rid of the threatening creature immediately, or allow it to get through unblocked. If they do get rid of it in the upkeep, you still have the option of attacking alone with another creature at that point - very effective.
There's nothing like saving a Rhox War Monk from destruction, then following it up on the next turn attacking alone with it and Finest Hour and Rafiq out. =)
It's very, very good. Never failed me. If you have lots of nonwhite creatures in your deck or like to play one or two fatties, this is absolutely useful to you. It's a magnificent counter for targetting spells and permanents and it usually punishes your opponent afterwards with an unblockable attacker. Path to Exile in my Wurmcoil Engine? Think again. Oh, and by the way, now we've got a difference of 12 in our life totals. 5/5

Great situation arise from this guy. Inkmoth Nexus & Equipped creatures are two of the ones that jump off the page at me.

The foil version of this card makes me feel like I'm watching Dragon Ball Z.

Hose removal and swing unblocked? K

Some people here don't realize the power of this card. First you can protect your creature from removal and then swing for basically unblockable, if it was during your turn. If an opponent played the removal during their turn, this card rebounds and you can swing with an unblockable when it does reach your turn! Freaking amazing.

Rebound works so well with Heroic. 2 Triggers for 1 mana! Yes Please!
Block with him, give him protection, return a creature to play. Next turn, give him protection again (maybe hit the opponent) and return another creature.
