Sorcery - Rare

Return all creatures to their owners' hands except for Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses and Serpents.


Seems like it could be fun sort of tribal thing... except that, including card spoiled so far in BotG... there are currently 4 creatures you could have in play that won't get bounced, and they are all 5+ CMC except for 1 that has X in it's casting cost.

Here's hoping for a Kraken Hatchling reprint. :)

Mono blue board wipe is exciting, though.

Interesting board wipe, seems very playable.

Yep. Interesting one-sided board wipe... but you have to make a deck that works with it, and currently, there is little to nothing for that deck to do in the first 3-4 turns.

Not a bad card... just missing some support at the moment.

Good for modern Quest for Ula's Temple decks

I like this card. It may re-inspire me to make a sea monster EDH deck...

This card whelms me.

If anyone understands the reference in my previous comment (no, it's not from the card), I will be soooo happy.

Just more mazes end stuff, great. (sarcasm).

All in all I like it, I think its neat for EDH and very playable in standard, it just needs to find a playstyle that it can fit in (other than mazes end), maybe UGB control or something.
