Overshadowed by three cards, being Consign to Dream, Stand/Deliver and Resounding Wave.
It's a pity a card with such a generic name therefore won't find much use...except for block-constructed maybe, of course.

It's a shame that this card will be reprinted in Rise of the Eldrazi instead of the superior Boomerang. Hopefully Boomerang will come back in M11.

But Rise of the Eldrazi is a set built around creatures with massive casting costs, and cheap bounce just goes against that.

Hey look! It's a strictly worse Boomerang!

Boomerang turned many games into the boring and infuriating "Turn 2, bounce your land. Turn 3, bounce your land." I'd much prefer anything that bounces a land stay at 3 or above, just so you can't bounce the first land they play.

Not quite. Boomerang requires two blue, so while it's generally better, Regress is easier to splash.

Not a strictly worse Boomerang — actually, it's a strictly worse Number Crunch.

Wait, what?

When I cracked this at a sealed tournament back in the day, I groaned.

I still groan when I look at it. Overcosted with poor art and decent flavor.
