There's no flavor this. I just had to a blue instant and decided to use Avalanche.

It's weird that this implies you want to bounce your own creature. Is that a theme in this set?

No, bouncing one's own creatures isn't a theme, but it's something that a bounce spell is used for occasionally.

My thought process for the card was this.

  1. I want to do another card with Avalanche.
  2. I haven't made a bounce spell.
  3. I can't boost the bounce spell via Avalanche, so I'll need another ability.
  4. If I bounce my own creature to protect or reuse it, I could maybe protect my hand where the creature is if I drew too much this turn.

Is that usually something someone is worried about with their bounce spells? I mean, you cast two spells that turn, which should create plent of room in your hand, so this is specifically for the case you do the thing done "occasionally" after already casting a card draw spell.

Usually, if I at all bounce my own stuff it's reactive, which makes it less likely a follow up to my own spell - not to mention a card draw spell (which I'd expect more often to be played instead of a reactive bounce spell).

Have you considered to just go with more broad bounce spell, maybe "nonland permanent" and a cost reduction, or just going all Reflector Mage on this?
