I don't like this particular card. Goes through so much trouble just to make this interact different with certain counterspells etc. than just blinking the creature. A straight activated ability that pings would be fine, too.

I'm not saying you can't find something interesting and worthwhile exploring this space, but this card is not that interesting and worthwhile thing.

The activated ability should go through the process of casting the card from the battlefield,because entering the stack without the casting process always causes issues and casting is something players are already familiar with.

I actually don't disagree. I really should not try to write cards while not entirely sober.

For one thing, I believe I intended the activated ability to allow the thing to evade wraths and the like which obviously does not do; most likely, I wanted the thing to be put on the bottom of the stack instead, which I'm sure would cause some kind of problems somewhere.

Other than that, I mostly concur the thing is best just axed, this particular card if not the whole sorcery-creature idea.

top --> bottom of the stack. This card is axed.
