Ive always wondered what you can really do with this card aside from use it against flashback or unearth decks

It doesn't even work agains Unearth decks! One of the all-time worst cards ever. EVER.

Suck it, Snapcaster Mage!

Seriously, this would work well as a sideboard card against Snapcaster in standard. Given the return of flashback in Innistrad, I wouldn't be surprised if WotC reprinted it in Dark Ascension or the next set.

@FugimSky Well, you need a couple things:
1) Painter's Servant
2) Chandra Ablaze
3) plenty of loyalty on Chandra
Fire off that -7 and see what happens.

For

I'd rather have practically anything other than Mudhole, but maybe someday this will become a sleeper hit if opponent graveyard interactions somehow get vastly improved (or if it's in the Innistrad block, should I say ghastly improved?)

Nasty! It's quite powerful though; I think in DKA or AVR we would see something like Yixlid Jailer rather than this strong of a hoser.

I assumed it was "as though they were in your hand". I thought it'd be pretty damn good for EDH, but it isn't, after all.

This definitely needs a reprint, colorshifted perhaps, called Bridges in the Sky.
One of you somewhere got that joke.

@Stinga: You use it in response to spells (like Recoup or Snapcaster Mage or Yawgmoth's Will) that let your opponent cast spells from their graveyard.

This...is the most niche card I've ever seen.

Could they not just cast their junk in response to Shaman's trance? Still, it hits sorcery speed stuff so it is pretty cool. Not the best effect ever, certainly not maindeck. What it does have going for it is its uniqueness. 4/5 for niche potential.

EDIT: Excellent point Syrazemyla.
