MTG Salvation

A bounce spell that's card advantage. Hmmm. That's... different.

These cards tend to have potential. Remand, Into the Roil, etc... so I think this might see some play. If you bounce a 3-mana creature with no etb, you get 1 mana and 6-8 life, but one less card. Then you play the other half and you end up with essentially a 4-mana Mind Rot that also gained you 6-8 life. Definitely fringe playable. Then you add that Torrential Gearhulk can cast either half and it starts to get exciting.

Hmm amazing.

Maybe I'm not buying it, but Oblivion looks terrible to me. I mean, there are better cards out there. Plus if you wanted to HOPEFULLY force an opponent to essentially "discard a non-land permanent from the battlefield," you have to pay a total of 7 mana for your opponent to decide whether or not to discard that card. *Shrug*

Seems like a legit late game hard control spell to me. Use all the other cheap spells for control in format along with this. As well as there is a lot of mill/discard now so this would be a good way to hit a threat that slips past you on an opponent with a small hand. Maybe say a prowling serpopard that got by and then counter the creature coming in, then on your turn make them discard the serpopard.
