I think this card can be extremely unfun for the opponent. With every creature you play you can return an creature to a players hand!!! That sound pretty broken to me. I´m glad Wizards is now avoiding to print unfun cards such as these, Baneslayer Angel left by side of course. :-)

What are you talking about? This card is made of fun! Like when you cast Man-o'-War with this out so it can return itself and another creature over and over and over...

Equilibrium is not broken, in fact Uzbar I would prefer more cards like Equilibrium to Baneslayer any day. Equilibrium requires you to play smart as the person playing with or against it, unlike Baneslayer which just hits play and starts swinging.

Question: Does this card works with Evoke creatures by returning it to your hand before the sacrifice takes place?

I like how you can now "successfully" cast a spell even if it's countered. Try to convince that to your friends at the kitchen table next time...
I believe the original intention of the "whenever you successfully cast a spell..." wording would be more accurately errata'd to "whenever a spell you cast resolves..."

@Begleone: Um, no, you misunderstand. The keyword now being used is cast, but for an older card like this, to "successfully cast," the creature has to resolve.
Put it this way: Sure, you cast llanowar elves. But if I counter them, you weren't successful. See?

@ChaosFire: Read the Oracle text. The phrase "successfully cast" on all such cards has been changed to simply "cast."

UBER. I love it because I love to make annoying decks, or decks that aren't all beaters, removal, and acceleration.

A must in my counter deck. I bounce your creature...you wanna test the waters by playing it again? Fine by me :-)
Can this card return more than one creature to its owners hand in one Gt, simply by paying multiples of 1 mana?

@niallcmurry86
I agree with you. Not only it this card NOT broken, i think it rewards thinking players more so than "cast a fattie creature with bomb abilities and swing"
@urbar
yes you can bouce a creature, but you not only have to cast one yourself, but also pay mana... not to mention keep this enchantment on the board
@cyberium
evoke doesnt work with this in the way that you would like. when you play the creature, this effect goes on the stack on top of that spell, therefor the evoked creature is not in play when you have to choose targets.
@parsifal59
No, it triggers once, and only once, per creature spell you cast.
