You'll rather want to play play Trip Noose instead. Which still isn't that game-breaking nonetheless...

Was it really neccesary to make it return to the hand?

Some of the best card/flavour text interaction I've ever seen. R&D were clearly aware of how much this sucks.

The flavor text completely justifies this card.

Well, we know what Razor Boomerang is based off now.

Just another card that looks nice, but falls flat.
Puppet Strings is better, Blinding Mage is better.

what exactly is being "snared" in the art? That looks like no foot I've ever seen...

The point is that you can tap multiple creatures with it and then attack (something trip noose can't do).
I agree, it sucks though.

You should play it in combo with razor boomerang, will you spend five to tap a creature, or deal 1 damage to it, THEYLL NEVER KNOWWW

I prefer Mind Games. Without flash, this card is absurd.

"Even their security measures are made for beauty first, efficiency second." Beauty?? The art is horrible, it's an arm or a foot?

Anyways yeah, the card sucks.

You guys don't get it. You return it to your hand! That means you can re-play it and tap another creature, if it is your turn - for the reasonable cost of 10 mana.

I feel this deserves a lower rating than razor boomerang

How have the Magic folks not realized that "cyclopean" doesn't mean "one-eyed", it means "giant".
