Boomerang stapled to Funeral Charm's first mode. Can't really argue with that kind of utility. This gets better and better later in the game too, as it can become quite similar to a Vindicate, or force much more sadistic discards. 4.5 easily.

Sweet, one of my favorite cards is back in circulation. Kinda was hoping for new art though.

This is a mental Vindicate. MIND CRUSH!

Every deck running black/blue must have this card. Permanent return (any) and discard at instant speed is very rare to find on any card
5/5

This is pretty epic if they have no cards in hand. Also pretty good in any case.

Sometimes I make them discard everything so this effectively becomes a better version of Vindicate (it can get rid of something indestructible). Sometimes I bounce something and then get rid of it with Lobotomy which is the same colors. Hit it at the end of opponent's turn and then play Lobotomy on yours.

Even if they have a full hand, this card leads to a big tempo advantage. You stalled a threat and potentially got rid of another one all together.
Later on this acts like a vindicate, that hits anything that does not have protection, hexproof, or shroud.

Recoil.
How you made me cry when you first came out. How many times did you turn into vindicate, with added insult from megrim?
After planar chaos came out, a friend of mine had a strange UBR control deck. His favourite thing to do was to recoil his flametongue kavu, and discard into reckless wurm, with madness. Bizarre, but strangely effective.
Still one of my favourite bounce spells (along with the aptly named snap); 4.5/5
And it's a common!

I don't get why it isn't rated higher.

Awesome card. Terrible art.

Excellent in a discard deck that's having trouble with the "what do I do when my opponent's hand is empty?" issue. Also technically instant speed discard: if you can find something your opponent wants/needs enough, you can make them discard their draw immediately.

"at random" ...Ew. That would be a little too good.

Can't recall how many times I've told my friends "late enough in the game, and this is AT LEAST as good as vindicate, early in the game, it helps you live until the later parts of the game".
Somehow missed that this was in a duel deck, and now i must have a playset with the new border and the (apparently) crisper colors. (frownie face)

I'm very surprised this never saw a Standard reprint, after we went to Ravnica twice. Dimir would have been awesome. I mean Dimir is awesome already, but this card would fit so nicely in Dimir.
