This card is INSANE in Type 2.

Ziveeman · 09-14-2006, 10:21 PM

Will they stop previewing suspend cards? It's kinda predictable and old...but Ancestral Vision is decent otherwise.

ferro_man · 09-14-2006, 10:21 PM

exactly what i would expect from wizards

erring on the side of caution

bert · 09-14-2006, 10:21 PM

It takes too long.. again, horrid late game.. not usuable imo.

Fun though.

edit- second thoughs. this is actually good.

nJustice · 09-14-2006, 10:21 PM

seems fair to me, yeah i just wait 4 turnst to draw 3 extra cards for 1 blue mana i payd in my first turn

...

btw: i laught to all peoples who have said its split second !

edit: But Sorcery ?!

Monopoman · 09-14-2006, 10:24 PM

Certainly not bad in control decks. They can stall the game so bad that even drawing this more late game might even not be so bad. Insane on Turn 1 cause of the ability to keep countermagic mana open turn after turn. Quite the boon to mono blue and heavy permission control decks.

Forgotten_Hope · 09-14-2006, 10:25 PM

Gimme. Now.

This + Clockspinning =

DDDD

mr feeny · 09-14-2006, 10:25 PM

Into my Vore it goes.

Looks like a decent card, not amazing.

Consume_Spirit_CDS · 09-14-2006, 10:27 PM

Definately a playable card in T2. Also about what I expected. I knew it wouldnt be anything less than Suspend 3. But hey drawing 3 cards on the 4th turn is not bad. I expect it to see play, and will of course fetch a high price like the Lotus Bloom and Walk of Aeons despite their playablitly. Everyone loves thier P9 nostalgia.

Anyone who thought Ancestral Recall would get Split Second is a dumbass.

Its slightly better than Hatching plans.

Edit: Slightly really better.

Yusuke · 09-14-2006, 10:28 PM

I call this amazing. You know what this says to me? Play this the turn after you suspend wheel of fate. Could be quite the possibility in Vore.

Landstalker · 09-14-2006, 10:28 PM

Dammit, 121 extra reprints, more rehashed cards with suspend. Is anything original in this set?

the best first turn play i have seen for blue decks in quite some time

AzN_OwNaGe · 09-14-2006, 10:28 PM

YAAAAAAAAASS simply amazing. I personally like it better than compulsive research.

spodbox · 09-14-2006, 10:28 PM

Uck. What a waste. Timetwister would have made more sense as the blue card in this cycle. This is just boring. Note that it's a sorcery.

In any case, now we're just waiting on the green card. I'm still betting on Eureka.
