A very useful combination of effects at a fair cost and the transmute ability adds to it's already great utility.

For an uncommon, and an ability that can target lands, a very well balanced card.

Let's see, according to the mana cost:
2 blue mana=boomerang
1 black mana=volrath's motion sensor (sort of)
1 colorless mana=transmute

What's not to like?

This is not bad. I think unsummon might be better (remember, you can use it on your own creature) but all in all it's pretty good.

Utilitarian but expensive. 4 mana may be too much.

Yes, I play this as a second copy of my Jace, the Mind Sculptor in my Wrexial, the Risen Deep EDH deck. Or some emergency removal...Always nice to return someone's General to their hand.

Great example of Ravnica Classic's suite of awesomely balanced cards I guess - so rare not to see anyone arguing, frothing over or bemoaning it in the comments.

I play it in my Warped Devotion/Linessa deck. Transmute's into Linessa, provides functionality for Warped Devotion

{1UB}: Fetch target Wrath. A couple turns later, Snapcaster Mage to bounce something you don't like.

1UB - Sorcery - Search your library for a card named Jace, the Mind Sculptor, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library.

@divine_exodus: the one black mana is like Bump in the Night.

I've won an EDH game using this and Radiate. He was at 34 life and had 14 permanents. Just make sure you don't kill yourself in the process. 4/5
