Getting a discount on expensive spells like Upheaval / Wildfire seems like big game. It's also an ETB trigger which can be abused with something with similar cost like Bribery. Also allows you to play a spell outside of your colors. Thoughts?
This creature intrigues me. There are a ton of great instants and sorceries that would be excellent when strapped to a creature, and this allows blue decks access to non-blue effects. Strapping a Vindicate or Hero's Downfall to this guy would be crazy good value. Can also change the exiled spell between games in a match. Not being able to use counterspells is a bummer, but I think there are enough other possibilities that this wizard is worth testing.
Hero's Downfall? You're thinking too small. What about Upheaval? Armageddon? You can cack those cards even if you're not in those color combinations. This card is completely busted.
Edit: Heck, let's put Cruel Ultimatum back into our cubes while we're at it. This card's like the new Tinker.
A discount Upheaval that PUTS ITSELF BACK IN YOUR HAND. Also pretty nutty with anything big if you run any blink support. Temporal Mastery? And does fun things with Living Death, especially if you have a sac outlet. This is shaping up to be a fun set.
I am just starting to build my first cube with limited amounts of cash and cards like these will allow me to build a cube with fun quirky effects without breaking the bank on some of the crazy expensive cards.
I just realised it's enters the battlefield and you copy the exiled spell (not cast the spell itself), could get pretty nuts with blink effects and a big value spell.
I'm very excited, especially for when I get to draft some nutty off colour spell.
Does it get round timing restrictions? It would be fun to blink him on my opponents turn to get some big sorcery on their turn or instant speed reanimation during combat.

It tells you to cast a spell during the resolution of a triggered ability, when you don't have priority, so it would be pretty bad if it didn't get around timing restrictions.

More combos are occurring to me left and right. Draft this with Ghostly Flicker for infinite mana, untaps, and ETB effects. If you don't want to go so deep, any blink instant/sorcery and Purphoros is also a kill.
That's bonkers. Reminds me a lot of Aether Searcher, which I really like. It could play a number of different ways depending on how early or late you see if during draft.

I was just checking in case I had missed something since it seems so awesome, wouldn't have been the first time I've read a card wrong.
This is the most disgusting cube card that has been printed since Mystic Confluence (which btw is also pretty insane under this card even if you arent able to counter stuff anymore. Recurring nightmare on an ETB draw/bounce any combination of 3 is lol)
I'll find room for this and also Cruel Ultimatum, which I've always wanted to run. This puts me over the edge.
What other busted spells that have been on the outside of most cubes does this make a little more plausible? None of the other Ultimatums look good. Obviously Upheaval and Geddon are great here, but what other things would be busted?

Seasons Past is a great idea. I'm searching Gatherer for 7+ mana targets. Some really interesting stuff, mostly unplayable otherwise. But things that seem interesting: Boom // Bust, In Garruk's Wake, Part the Waterveil. Also this makes me want to play Gush.

Seems like a pretty strong card to me. Allows blue to do some crazy off-color things.

On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
This will most likely be the 2nd 5cmc Blue creature in my Cube since I'm not a huge fan of Meloku.
EDIT: This + Momentary Blink / Cloudshift + Monastery Mentor. Gross.

You come up with that and then quote Time Warp and not Time Walk? This is cube man

How does Seasons Past sound? Build the greatest Eternal Witness the world has ever seen. There's also Praetor's Grasp if you want to get a little more greedy.
