Burning a turn to set up an extra turn doesn't really get you much. And throwing in a mise copy in hopes of a lucky topdeck is equally non-optimal.

You choose a card from it with converted

This is the best discard they can give us?

Looks really good to me, specially given the current Type 2 Meta, even decent in Modern, can't really speak for Legacy though.

What does this take that Despise doesnt? Not much. Other way around, a whole bunch.

Modern has thoughtsieze, inquisition, and duress. this is rofl bad.

and just because it isn't thoughtseize level doesn't mean it's bad.

Also Despise is creature or PWer so this hits Instant and Sorcery for what it's worth.

Not only is remand already an excellent tempo card, when they waste a turn putting mastery on top and a turn playing it for your just to send it back to their hand as a 7 mana card and DRAWING from remand, you have basically gained 2 extra turns for their wasted turns, and Temporal Mastery will be a dead card in their hand. I sure hope everyone around my area hops on the temporal mastery bandwagon, because I will be remanding it all day.

Yes, you can. Miracle ignores timing restrictions.

Legacy burn might try it out but eventually it will fail. This kind of choice card is a trap. This looks insanely good but when you're playing burn you want every top deck to be burn to the face. When late game they can use burn, but with the devil they will choose creature hole their goyf outmatches it in size, not to mention if gives then a target for their removal. In modern though, vexing devil looks like its gonna be the nuts. With ranger of eos in some kind of Boros Aggro or midrange deck it could be insane. It might also bring back zoo even with the banning of nacatl. It just depends, but it is extremely overhyped right now just like almost every card. The only card I feel like is not receiving enough attention is desolate lighthouse. Uncounterable looting on a land, so it doesn't even take up spell space in your deck is just absolutely insane. Hopefully it will put burning vengeance decks into the competitive tier in standard.

It's a good card. It's hardly format defining, in ANY format. The aggro-control decks in standard save their countermagic for swords, sweepers, and occasionally a titan. Modern countermagic is almost completely relegated to protecting a combo (splintertwin/storm) or buying a turn until tron is assembled.

Legacy goblins has WAY bigger issues than worrying about daze/FoW, namely the fact that reanimator and other top tier combo decks simply poop all over anything you could produce with a turn 1 lackey. Legacy merfolk might get a kick out of this, but they're already running wasteland and mutavault, so the odds of having hands that blank your own dazes only increase.

Literally the only "warping" I see coming from this card is people trying to port UB Faeries into legacy, since uncounterable spellstutter sprites and V. Cliques could be pretty saucy. Legacy Elfball might run 1 or 2, but why turn on your opponent's wastelands? Smart opponents know that the creatures don't matter nearly as much as the glimpse of nature or the regal force (which ain't an elf) or the wirewood symbiotes (also not elves) or the green sun's zenith's (still not elves).

It's a $10 rare, at best. It's certainly annoying that hype is going to put this thing at 20 a pop for the first month, but I guess that makes drafting even more enticing during the pre-release.
