After that unfortunate accident with the woodchipper, Izzy's drawings of hands were never quite the same...

The flavor should read "You will learn to pay its mana cost"

A staple in any blue deck that cant afford Jaces. Use it to bounce your own creatures when they get doom bladed or terminated. Drew an escence scatter and they have a big creature out? No problem, just unsummon the beast and watch them cry as u counter it. Great way to spend one blue mana

Wait, they're supposed to look like that? Dude, imagine how awesome his hand-people would look. I bet if you look at the back of his hand he a has a face drawn on it :O

You can easily play your 9 CMC creature again... but I'll just keep unsummoning it!
Is it just me or is Unsummon becoming more and more useful with each new set? (not that it hasn't always been useful). I mean levellers (and things like Ajani's Pridemate), totem armour, massive Eldrazi creatures and other creatures that have probably been 'cheated' in, like Demon of Death's Gate; indestructible or otherwise hard-to-kill creatures, reusing EtB effects, saving your own creatures from removal... I think that's about it??
Maybe I am just starting to appreciate it more?
Everytime I bounce, I feel I touch the skyyyy!

So many reasons to love this card. I can think of 10 good uses: 1. Save your creature from removal 2. Force an opponent to recast an expensive creature, esp. if not hardcasted 3. Aura removal, esp. totem armour 4. Pseudo Fog, esp. against exalted 5. token removal 6. Counter removal 7. Reusing an EtB ability 8. Countering a spell by unsummoning, then countering when recast 9. Avoiding walls, indestructible, etc. 10. Returning stolen creatures to their owners hand All of this for U! This is an amazing card, worthy of all blue decks.

People really underestimate the color wheel in terms of removal. While I admit that white has some of the most powerful and efficient removal in the game (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Condemn, etc.) blue removal strictly stops things from existing temporarily, or forces it to never see play, which in many ways is the fastest and most disruptive removal. And blue is the color of pure disruption.
Blue removal hits the battlefield, sometimes hits the hand, and really slashes the throat when it comes to the library and the stack, two incredibly important zones in the game. In fact, those two zones are tyrannized by things like Mana Leak and Tome Scour/ Traumatize.

Who is Simun the Quiet? For a silent guy, he's on a lot of flavor texts.

Strictly worse than the upcoming New Phyrexia Vapor Snag. Unless you want to use unsummon on your own creatures of course...
this is probably the most versatile card in the entire game (definitely the most versatile removal for a good cost), and it's a historic card for blue. it's been around for a long time but it's always been good. it's pretty much the base of blue. I give it a 5/5.
