Wasn't as helpful as I'd hoped in my draft, but I can see some promise, particularly with the card draw. 2.5/5

Why would you play this when you could play Esper Sojourners?

Type 2: This is a pretty decent card. Very versatile...hates on Red Aggro (stupid Hell's Thunder! The draw is nice too. I'd rate this closer to 3 cars than to 2 stars.

The draw effect makes it too expensive in mana cost. Keeping 3 mana unused is a bit hard for some damage prevention. I would still prefer a version with scry and lower cmc.... or maybe with the draw before the tap/untap effect (since you could untap your land if you've drawn a better spell)

Agh, Repel the Darkness in the upcoming RoE set is much much better, though less versatile. Grrrrrrr

Esper Sojourners is strictly better than this. Why? because it can't be countered.

In the right deck, this card gets very good. Otherwise it costs too much.

unban, you're right. esper sojourners is better than this card in every way except that cycling cannot be played as an instant.

Playing Planechase with Glimmervoid Basin out is the only reason I've been glad to have this card instead of Esper Sojourners.

While it's versatile, I think it shouldn't be used strictly as an answer for creatures. You might as well play Repulse if creature lock down is all you want to do with with twitch.

Or the Ice-part of Fire//ice. That even goes well on a scepter

I noticed Esper Sojourners in a weird way is strictly better than this, and can't even be countered!

@ JFM2796:

Cycling Esper Sojourners even puts a body in your graveyard. That does matter!

This should have storm and be called epilepsy. Only then will it be truly good.

Am I the only one who thinks this should have cost {1} less?

Not bad, actually. Good effect on a cantrip.

3/5
