Undercosted? I really want something like Capsize, but I don't want to pay that much for it.
Maybe creature-or-artifact only?
Made it a sorcery - that hopefully balances it. (Will monitor)
Hmmm. Sorcery is certainly sensible. But it's possible this could stillbe problematic along with anything saying "Sacrifice a land: Some effect". Which this set naturally has a few of. It'd give you quite a few turns of "Bounce that dragon. You recast the dragon? I rebounce the dragon."
That said, a set needs some format-defining cards. Just be aware that's what you're risking creating here.
Yeah, this is a pretty big incentive to play with lands. Which green and black will then do horrible things to you for having done. Which seems fair in-format.
Will monitor, I guess.
I'm not even saying if you do any playing with lands. Just if we've each got 7 lands, you have a big 6- or 7-mana creature, and I have this, this will keep your creature off the board and all your mana occupied for at least 4 turns. Which is pretty massive.
But only if you have ways of sacrificing (playing with) lands. And not every punishment for doing that is something you can bounce.
I really really want some retreivable bounce though. How about if the opponent can do something landy to prevent you getting it back, instead?
Well, like I say, this may not actually be problematic. Just strong.
non-land. 'a' graveyard, not 'the'.
The "nonland" change is very sensible.
Also, for clarity, choose one of the templates "land card is put into a graveyard from anywhere" (includes mill and discard) or "land is put into a graveyard from the battlefield" (more explicit that it's only from the field).
clarified as anywhere
Note, if I do encycle it; this is a candidate for the blue "If you don't, opponent gets big benefit" card.
