Not bad, can set up a nice combo if you're sitting on a counter spell of some kind.

3/5

Meh, imo it should have been able to unsummon any creature or have a cost of only.

2/5 for the card, one more point for the art.

If it put the card on top of the library than it might be passable, but still wizards got to keep up their c,rap quota.

Hmmmm.
3 for a 3/3, plus 2 for an Unsummon variant.

Seems fair enough.

But then you see stuff like Aethersnipe which is bigger and less rigid for only 1 more.

Eh.
Probably still very good in block or limited.

Good card for a common slot. Should be white though (bounce effect)... since white is reactive and blue is more proactive.

Did anyone catch how the word don't in the flavor text isn't italicized? I'm wondering if that was intentional to emphasize the word.It does make this card rather unique though.

because clearly it was time to make a new creature type that will probably never be printed outside of this block.

meh, its usable in a WU control deck i guess

@Doom_Lich: All the flavor text is italicized so when they want to use a word for emphasis they leave the text normal. Opposite of how we'd put an word in italics if we wanted to emphasize it.

@cheza, why must you repeatedly question Magic's color pie and criticize r&d for not using your version? It saddens me that the only comments I see from you are "burn makes more sense in green because wood catches on fire" or "Chaos Harlequin should have been white, chaos is white because white is not really a color but all colors combined, at least in the light spectrum" because you really don't understand the color pie of Dominia.
A blue creature can bounce an enemy tapped creature. Why? because blue spells have always been fond of a certain mana advantage early, card advantage later scheme which is called "control." This is not a very good card but it is fine in blue. If it was white, you would have argued with it anyway, did you think of that?

Creature- Antelope common
When ~ enters the battlefield return target tapped creature to its opponent's hand. 3/3
Instead, Wizards gives us Glimmerpoint Stag, for example, which better fits the color pie of Dominia. Flicker continues to be white/blue color pie to this day.
The biggest problem with most of your observations is that you don't take into account that a card can have properties of flavor that are in the domain of a blend of colors. Not all mana in a flavor sense is White, Red, Blue, Black, and Green, though on the cards they need to be. Flavorwise a demon creature tends to be dark red somewhere in between black and red. Hellfire, an old classic, is perfect within black's color pie because the damage it deals to you is not black but black/red, even though the spell itself is cast with only black mana.

so this guy will never be able to touch a boob? poor one...

There was literally only one Surrakar per set in the block. Worst tribe ever.

The first time I saw it, i didn't think it was THAT bad. A 3/3 for and a bounce for sounded like a decent deal. But then when I read it again, it said 'TAPPED creature', and THAT really made me think badly of it. But when I consider it again, a 3/3 plus a bounce is never a bad idea.
Personally, i prefer things like the Aether Adept or the Man-o'-War , something a little more efficient and something you can play earlier in the game. However, never underestimate a 3/3 creature and what it can do, in fact, in many games I play, despite all the pricey rares I run, sometimes all I wish for is a 3/3.
2.5/5

@Cheza
not really, white doesnt bounce, white likes having order and it will be aggressive if it needs to to establish order, blue is reactive, and has always had bounce effects. this has always been this way.

Dies to Doom Blade.

"Dude, does my hand smell funny to you, oops, my bad bro."
2/5 Stars
