Why don't they reprint this in a core set instead of Jump?

I'd say this is slightly undercosted (should cost 1U), and wouldn't get into a core set with a cost less then 3. Actully, Teleportation could get a core-set spot.

Because Jump has both offensive and defensive applications. Narrow though they may be. Anyway, they should just man up and reprint Leap :P

I prefer Shadow Rift most of the time.

Overall I defintely like it, but the introduction of Distortion Strike (complete with Rebound) dampers this card a bit.

I'm shocked this card doesn't have 3+ stars. Easily a tide-turning if not game-winning spell.
Although I agree Distortion Strike is generally the superior card in most situations. Infiltrate can be used on your opponents turn, which has some advantages. For example, Infiltrate could be used to target an opponents attacking Prized Unicorn, allowing your creatures to block other creatures as normal.

Not true, this goes off at instant speed to make other player's creatures unblockable.

This one is instant speed, which, while not critically important on a creature that isn't engaging in creature-to-creature combat, is still useful. Distortion strike is generally better, but this one is more versatile. I suppose you could use this to foil your opponent's Lure. For one turn, at least.

Search "Power >= 8" for this card's combos.

Instant speed is good against things like creatures with flash, or when they play a pump spell before declaring blockers.

I'd rather have Veil of Secrecy. Even ignoring the splice ability, one extra mana is a small price to pay for doubling as a counter for any spell or ability that targets a single creature.
