can be slung together nicely with some other blue cards: Windfall comes to mind immediately. Discard all other cards in your hand, send back a permanent for each one, and then replenish your hand while forcing your opponent to lose all of what they've been building and planning.

Goes nicely in a Blue control/Black Reanimator deck. Put costly creatures in the grave, while setting your opponent back a few turns.

Eh... still don't know what to think of bounce... I like blue bounce 'cuz you bounce what you need and counter it I'd rather an Evacuation.
This card still has potential first thing that comes to my mind is play this turn three discarding three cards sending your opponents lands back now thats nice but still don't love it. 3/5

Used in a popular blue mill archetype with another card I forget the name of, that made people mill X cards off the top each turn, where X was the number of cards in their hand.
If you care more for this as discard enabler than the bounce, the additional cost is an upside. But aside from that you're pretty much screwed if planned a big bouncing spree and this spell gets countered.

how has no one commented on the flavor text!? it's freaking hillarious! "laquatus dreams of seizing control", or in english, "wet dreams of taking over the world"! you no, i'm totaly getting a playset of these just because i'm short. but in all seriousness, this card is usualy not a good card at all. but if you're playing a deck with alot of flashback/madness or other grave-based effects, this card becomes and ab***e TERROR for your opponents. at this moment, i'm making a Domia, sage of stone EDH based around discarding and grave effects, and i'll tell you, when i drop this, people quit. 4/5, because with the right deck it's godly.

Phoenixes, like Shard Phoenix and Chandra's Phoenix, could easily be disposed to fuel this card, then get them back to your hand later.

Excellent with Jace's Archivist, as you'd be discarding the cards you discard to this with the Archivist anyway, and by bouncing those permanents to your opponent's hand your could be increasing the cards you draw from the Archivist. Plus the Archivist makes your opponents discard everything you bounced, thus giving you a 2-card removsl option in blue for artifacts, enchantments, creatures, and planeswalkers that doesn't involve the usual Sleep, Mind Control, or Counterspell options.

I think this card needs way more credit than it gets, for 2 mana I can discard all the creatures in my hand and get rid of all your permanents, then turn 3 as long as I have a forest on the field say hello to a Ghoultree and you're done in 2 hits. Just has to be a creature heavy deck.
