Mana Cost:. Converted Mana Cost:. Card Text:. When Snapcaster Mage enters the battlefield, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn.
The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost. You may cast that card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it. You can also decide the best target after you surveil, because your opponent needs to respond before the surveil 2 resolves. But any kind of blue tempo deck—Jeskai in Modern comes to mind—would rather have the body to apply pressure.
Sure, it costs double-blue, but most blue decks that play Snapcaster Mage are heavily in blue already, trying to cast Cryptic Command or Counterspell. In that regard, unless you only have blue sources in your deck, Mission Briefing is factually clunkier than the 1U card. If you have other Mission Briefings in the graveyard and extra mana, you get a bunch of surveils.
That may seem innocuous, but in the mid-to-late-game, getting to scry for 4 or more is pretty insane. I prefer these cards over much more narrow answers such as Trinisphere , Rule of Law , and Torpor Orb , as those cards provide zero board presence.
Graveyard hate is another way to attack Snapcaster, and cards that can flexible why doing so are at a premium. Relic of Progenitus can not only exile the graveyard, but it can also be expended to draw a card, making it much less of a dead weight than more powerful cards such as Rest in Peace.
Scavenging Ooze is another great card that additionally plays to the board and doubles as grave hate. I'd shy away from the more dedicated hate such as Rest in Peace and Leyline of the Void , as those cards have a much bigger impact in the graveyard-centric decks of the format.
