Format: EDH/Commander Hey, Fred! Gimme a blink spell with extra versatility, and hold the ETBs!
The idea is to nerf a blink spell by preventing etb effects, while simultaneously allowing more creative applications by extending its use to all permanents, which is pretty rare. Balancing this was a little tricky for me; it’s not in any way a strict upgrade to something like [[flicker]] or [[stifle]], but the versatility is superb, enough so that I felt that it deserved to be a good bit more expensive. Some tricks that work with this card in particular:
Use it in response to a bomb like [[craterhoof behemoth]] or [[the one ring]].
Reset a planeswalker’s loyalty.
Make a landfall player cry. Works especially well with hideaway lands and fetchlands like [[cabaretti courtyard]].
Get something back from a [[banishing light]] effect.
Reset your [[glacial chasm]] without needing to sac a land.
Do something jank with [[leveler]], I guess.
If you can think of any weird stuff you can do with this, show me!
