Powerful combination of effects.
True. ...Except, wait, this requires a target on the battlefield? So you can only cast it when someone is casting their second copy of a creature? Um, let's not do that, that's awful.
Well, it doesn't have to be the second copy of the same creature. But I see what you're saying.
...No, wait, I misread it. I read it as saying "with the same name". Okay, I'm back to thinking that this is possibly a bit too good.
I suppose Cryptic Command is a fair comparison. This is pretty much the Cancel+Boomerang mode of Cryptic Command, but with Boomerang replaced with Unsummon.
I think this is still a very strong card, and easily tournament-worthy, but perhaps as brokenly undercosted as I first thought.
Not only is Boomerang replaced with Unsummon, but Cancel is replaced with Remove Soul as well.
And you lose the versatility. I might start testing at 3UU, since counterspells are still getting nerfed, but this is printable.
Fair point. 3UU it is.
