Dweomer Restoration (blue instant)

Dweomer Restoration
UU4
Instant
Remove target instant or sorcery card in any graveyard from the game.  Make a copy of that spell and add it to the stack.  If the spell has X in the mana cost, X is 0.

All purpose trick and one-shot Yawgmoth's Will.  I can see some potential for abuse when using it to recur a particularly powerful sorcery, but at 6 mana I think it balances out.   However, I suck at judging a card's power on paper.   

I supose with some self milling and/or the likes of Intuition this could be used as part of some kind of combo where Blue gets to use a card it normally could not, but again, at 6 mana I don't think it would be too powerful. 

Most importantly, I think it looks fun.  I love instant tricks with a variety of uses.

Why would I play this over Relearn?
-Slay

[Rando]

Relearn is a sorcery, and this lets you copy a spell in any graveyard, not just your own.

[Matt]

Whats with the funky name?

[Rando]

Dweomer is an old word for magic.  I think it's pronounced "dwimmer", but I don't know.  I'm not stuck on the name.

[Rando]

If you all don't like this then please say so it can be closed and I can move on.

This looks rather nrrow and at 6 mana would rarely get played. Having said that because it includes the cost of the spell being replayed you can't really reduce it below 6 mana. I think this card could do with options such as:

Channel 3U Return target Instant or Sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand

or

Cycling 2 and remove Instant or Sorcery card in your graveyard from the game

or

Kicker 4  Make a copy of that spell and add it to the stack. If the spell has X in the mana cost, X is 0.

[silvernail]

How about lowering the cost to make it a bit better, say 2UU, though it is strictly better than relearn for only 1 more so maybe add some kind of drawback( RFGing the target card isnt a drawback in type one, its just like recouping your card or a narrow coffin purge if you dont want an opponent yawg willing a given card or some such). maybe

2UU
Instant
Discard two cards and Remove target instant or sorcery card in any graveyard from the game.
Put a copy of that spell on the stack,  If the spell has X in the mana cost, X is 0.[

[Nova442]

My god man that's vicious card disadvantage.  Discarding might be a good idea to lower the cost from 6 and provide an interesting twist though!

NAME
2UU  (3UU?)
As an additional cost to play ~this~ discard a card from your hand.
Remove target (an?) instant or sorcery card in any graveyard from the game and put a copy of that spell on the stack.  If the spell has X in its mana cost, X is 0.

Idea is to be able to discard an instant or sorcery and play it with this as well as just the cards already in graves.  Since the RFG is on resolution the bomb you just laid down could be stopped too.  I just think it's good to have options like "do I play this now with the removal card in the grave or do I wait to draw my bomb sorcery?"

That doesn't work - your target is chosen before costs are paid.  It is however interesting, although I'd like to see it at 3UU + 1 discard, or 2UU + 2 discard.

Why not have it just remove your whole graveyardfrom the game? that prevents it from being too good in multiples and hoses most T1 strategies that casn afford UU.

Restoration:
Sorcery
2UU
Remove your graveyard from the game. Until End of turn, you may play an instant or sorcery card removed this way w/o paying its mana cost.

If you go with this, you need the customary "X=0" clause. C/P it from Mind's Desire.

[silvernail]

there is no need to have it remove your graveyard, its just relearn with some extra card loss ( to equate to casting the spell thus you'd lose a card)

[Rando]

I like dandan's kicker version and I like Slay's "remove your graveyard" version.  I'm not sure which of those two to go with.

[silvernail]

umm we did it again guys::::

Ravnica spolier yielded this gem of a card:

Sins of the Past
sorcery
4BB

Until end of turn, you may play target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that card would be put into your graveyard this turn, remove it from the game instead. Remove Sins of the Past from the game.
