Wanted to get a common flicker effect in the set. I also don't want to be the guy who obsoletes Flicker... it's true that almost every flicker card printed after that Urza's Destiny rare was better than it, but none of them flat out obsolete it.

Reminiscent of Ghostly Flicker.

Crud. I forgot about Ghostly Flicker. I couldn't think of anything that flickered two things... but I guess there is... and instant speed to boot. Glad I didn't go for {3} {w} . ;)

I changed it to double flicker the same thing twice, but I'm not sold on it. I suppose there are a number of decent flicker effects left in the world, but I don't want to change the name and flavor text so I've got a bit of conundrum. Man, do I wish I could use 'Detain' right here.

EDIT: Switched to a Flicker/Neck Snap variant. Kind of awkward wording...

by Alex:

Ooh, nifty. Reminiscent of Urgent Exorcism in that it's two different conditional utility spells. I'd play it. I always loved Order // Chaos, another exile attacker spell with an alternate option.
