Meh. It's decent with gifts ungiven and PtE/StP, but hardly degenerate. Definitely decent addition to the Goryo's reanimator deck, and possibly U/G 12-post (flashbacking just about any spell in that deck is solid).

I think it has better applications for standard and legacy. U/B control in standard would love to flashback a surgical extraction or a doom blade, on top of getting a body out of it.

Meh, would have been much scarier with bitterblossom, though esper stoneblade and team america in legacy just got scarier for sure.

It means control doesn't have to be as stingy with its answers.  You can Path right away, knowing that down the road if you need a second, you've got it.  Or go ahead and counter something now, knowing that you still have that counter handy.

The fact that it puts legs on the ground, too, is superb.

Can I say meh without getting beaten to death? It's a very good card and will be amazing in Legacy and Standard no doubt but I just don't think Modern is the format that it's going to do best in. It will be good but it's not going to live up to the hype at least not here.
And it's said that youth's ,well only tragedy
Is being unoriginal

Modern is definitely it's worst format, given the poor state of control decks.  It is still insanely powerful though and will see significant play.
NO ONE EXPECTS THE QUAGSIRE INSURRECTION!

Why do you say control is no good now? Just cuz JTMS is banned? There is access to plenty of counters/sweepers/spot removal/hand removal...I don't follow. You aren't the first to say this either, so I feel I'm in the wrong...I just don't understand why.
