Good effect, but it really should have been at instant speed intead of sorcery.

I'm agree with SavageBrain89, it should be in instant.

this card is great. is't practically a boomerang and a fatigue combined. it could've been an instant, but it probably would have costed 1 more.

Pretty fun with Radiate. Twitch still wins that particular contest though.

Well you know, maybe it will come back someday with a different name, maybe even as an instant. I also wouldn't be surprised if the cost stayed the same, what with power creep and all. I always liked deck bounce effects, and cards are a rather small collection at the moment.

T2 boomerang gives you the tempo advantage at the loss of card advantage, T3 temporal spring continues the tempo advantage without losing the card advantage.

Putting cards on the top of the library can be so demoralizing. Just imagine T2: Memory Lapse their spell T3: This to put a land on top
You can follow that up with all sort of mean things, maybe a Temporal Eddy, but even just the two would make many opponents despair.

Reminds me of Excommunicate, which is fun for timewalking people :)

If it was instant speed, a restriction of "non-land" would be needed at this cost.

I like Corile. Therefore, I like this card.

Instant? Are you people insane? This is an upgraded version of Boomerang losing the instant but putting it as your opponent's draw on his next turn. With green in the casting cost, potential 2nd turn spell if you let out a Llanowar Elves on turn 1 with a forest and put down an island on turn 2.
People forget that at times, Memory Lapse can be better than Counterspell. This is comparable to Boomerang
This slows any deck down played early, and can set opponents back late game by forcing them to recast and redraw their potential game winners
This may be a dumb question, but can this card be used to target a card in your graveyard?

Fred, permanents refer to cards on the battlefield, not the graveyard. The answer is no.

Just think of it as a Vindicate and suddenly it looks a lot better... sure, they get their permanent back next turn.... but as long as it didnt have a CitP/EtB ability you didnt give up Card Advantage.... in fact, it gives you information about their next draw.... AND it can be used in the same manner as Stone Rain to gain tempo against slower decks...
I'm surprised this card isn't rated higher. I've played with it a reasonable amount, and it really does feel pretty strong when you cast it. 5/5, just for being a neat card.

In a Ceta control deck I use (Guided Passage is hella rad) this card is hilarious if I card advantage them into topdecking mode and they draw a land... cuz they're doin nothing that turn and thanks to this card they're doing nothing the next turn as well!
Most control cards sit in your hand if the opponent has an unexciting board state, but this is one that you can still use right away to punish a poor board state by freezing their mana progression and killing their next draw.

4.5/5 for the powerful effect early and late game
