    Looking at phyrexian mana faqs it look like it should work. You'd get a flashback cost of pU for Misstep for example.

    Well, because Witness is still better overall (since the Mage will require you to pay the mana cost on the same turn), and more flexible (since it's not limited to instants and sorceries). For flashing back Misstep, Daze (yay, double Daze!), or Snuff Out, of course, this is superior to Witness. Lightning Bolt, and Brainstorm are other great targets. It's interesting, and worth keeping an eye on. It is indeed very good. I wonder if it would be worth running in NO RUG.

    Just comparing Snapcaster Mage with Scrivener shows that someone at R&D was drunk when he wrote down the casting cost of the card.
    Please stop talking about whether Force of Will is broken or not. It obviously is, and rather than "the glue that holds vintage together" it would be better to call it "the rug under which you hide the filth until there's so much that you can no longer conceal it".

    Snapcaster should really be red, but so glad it is not a mythic!

    Day: Instigator Gang 3R 2/3 Your attacking creatures +1/+0. No spell cast last turn, transform.
    Night: Wildblood Pack 5/5 Trample. Your attacking creatures +3/+0. A player cast two spells last turn, transform.

    This card fits so nicely into Dragon Stompy.

    The werewolf mechanic plays a bit like hellbent. You empty your hand and then start beating with oversized monsters.

    Bloody hell. Snapcaster Mage makes Vendilion Clique look clunky and inflexible.

    Except you can make your opponent unable to cast spells and transform. Moons and Trinisphere do this best.

    Snapcaster is dumb good. Really wish it had been red, would've balanced it a bit.

    So many format-warping blue cards in the last couple of years. And here I thought they had a handle on the development process so this wouldn't happen.

    AT LEAST IT DOESN'T FLY. Jesus.

    The more I think about it, the more awesome that card seems.

    TBH only blue card I feel has format warped is Misstep. Rest are other colored cards that gets splashed into the blue core.

    Jace is a result of misstep slowing down legacy with a turn or 2 :P But yea Jace is there to. IMO its great when new sets brings in new card that does some format warping. While I dont think the Snapcaster is gonna warp the format but I think its gonna be a solid card that hopefully is powerful enought to see some play in legacy.

    To deviate for a second into Vorthos stuff, what the hell does Snapcaster Mage have to do with Innistrad anyway? I don't see anything gothic or horror about him, unless you count the horror of what he's going to do to the colour balance.

    Flashback is a returning mechanic in Innistrad. I guess since it has to do with the graveyard, that makes it 'spooky'.

    Except you can't run 8 of this guy. And since you can't, it actually makes Clique better.

    Does it work with Suspended no mana spell cost?

    EDIT: no it doesn't, just checked Recoup rules. No Ancestral Vision retardness, at least.
    Never mind, figured out why I was wrong.
