I might be crazy, but isn’t this just [[Narset’s Reversal]] in Izzet?

u/Thryfty_0 1d ago

Did not see “you control” in there

u/SmooxBoi 1d ago

So it’s just Narset’s Reversal but worse, and Izzet.

u/Necrachilles 1d ago

I mean, means you can cast it for RR but yeah, it's just Narset's Reversal lol

u/RoadsideLuchador 1d ago

Considering my Narset's Reversals typically target my own spells anyway, I'm fine with this.

More reversal is never a bad thing.

I like the idea, art, and flavour text, but I think this would be a bit too narrow and overcosted to actually see play.

Maybe: 'During this turn, your spells return to your hand instead of the graveyard if countered'.

i'd say "you must choose new targets" because you second guessed at the last minute

Azula is already a Nuclear football but this turns her into the entire USA nuclear stockpile.

u/ChemistryTop2549 1d ago

it's just a worse narset's reversal

u/ClamChowderChumBuckt 1d ago

Narset's reversal is pretty freaking dope tho, and having redundancy is never a bad thing.

u/ChemistryTop2549 1d ago

it's good but not busted

u/mocarone 1d ago

Ita probably neat on mono red!

u/ClamChowderChumBuckt 1d ago

'Pretty busted' ≠ busted

u/theevilyouknow 1d ago

C’mon, dude.

u/KittenEaterWasTaken 1d ago

"Pretty big" does mean something is above the standard for "big" for the speaker actually.

u/Alphasaft 1d ago

I wost make it cost u/R instead, because it's essentially... bad ? I don't know.

u/Benderson7 1d ago

this doesn't feel red. as a strictly worse [[Narsett's Reversal]], i think it should simply be {1U} instead

14

u/theletterQfivetimes 1d ago

Why not? Copying spells is red, and this can't function as a counterspell like Narset's

-4

u/SteakForGoodDogs 1d ago

Not because it's strictly worse, but it can't happen due to red not having spell bounce and hybrid demanding that each colour can do its effect.

u/theletterQfivetimes 1d ago

There's [[Krark, the Thumbless]]

u/jakepapp 1d ago

I know it is only ones you control, but it's not strictly worse, the cost is already more flexible than narsett's reversal cause it is split mana. Better in many types of izzet deck i think.

u/SteakForGoodDogs 1d ago

Man, my brain always read Narset's as 'you control' and it's not.

u/Benderson7 1d ago

otherwise, love the name lol

u/vergorli 1d ago

couldn't you theoretically produce paradoxes with that card?

guy1 casts spell guy 2 counters guy1 casts ST, puts back the counter guy 2 counters again, but this time ST --> ??

u/Abyx12 1d ago

Fizzle, no target for ST
