How can this not have any comments?? It's an insanely powerful card against creature decks. Especially with so much graveyard destruction nowadays. Withered Wretch, Bojuka Bog, Relic of Progentius, etc. etc. etc.

I need to try this out with Wheel of Sun and Moon, thanks for the idea
Yes, Mist of Stagnation :D Makes all the difference.

With Leyline of the Void, this thing is a super-Moat. Not as useful otherwise, since the alternate cost is so minimal, but maybe you can make it work with a Relic of Progenitus or two.

Everyone here seems to be forgetting that, unlike cards like Mist of Stagnation or Moat, this affects only your opponents.
Also, very much devastating in EDH, where a lot of people tend to rely somewhat more on being able to return either spells they've cast or creatures from their graveyard.

Had a funny combo in EDH with this card. Opalescence, Wheel of Sun and Moon, and Followed Footsteps. Put the Followed Footsteps on the Wheel, target each of your opponents every time you make a copy of it. Then put the Web into play. It wasn't an optimal use for the cards I had, but I basically had the board on lockdown anyway, figured I'd go for it. I'd already used and reused the Relic of Progenitus to get rid of everyone's GY, and until someone could find a way through my many layers of protection, nobody could attack me :-)

It's so close to Propaganda every time I read it I forget that they don't have to exile a card for every creature they want to attack with. It'd be flat-out ridiculous if that was the case, as you wouldn't even need Relic of Progenitus effects to make the cost too much for some players.

Deceptively powerful in control decks that aren't putting much into anyone's graveyard anyway (bounce works just as well in blue). If they aren't burning through their own library, they aren't attacking. Much better with multiples.
So if I have 2 out does that mean they must exile 2 cards? This + rest in peace is a game winner.

Rest in Peace. Players can not attack if they have no cards to exile.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Grip of Amnesia. Do you want your spell to resolve, or to attack? Works even better in UW when you have access to other Enchantments like Norn's Annex, Rest in Peace, Rule of Law, and other nice lockdown cards.

Well isn't that just ridiculous with Leyline of the Void, Wheel of Sun and Moon, or Relic of Progenitus

Joins the long list of quality 3-drop enchantments in blue. (Propaganda, Rhystic Study, Paradox Haze, Soul Barrier, to name a few)
Hint: Drift of Phantasms
Combat phase begins, this goes on the stack, and you sac Crypt in response to this going on the stack.
Boom you just survived for another turn.
