[Official] Reverse Time | Rewind

[ZephyrPhantom]

2 | 1
Lightning
Deals 5 damage to target.
Cards denied : 1 Card Destroyed. (Usually)

2 | 1
Reverse Time
Sends target creature back to the top of the deck.
Cards denied : 1 Card Draw Denied, 1 Temporary Card + X Amount of Quantum.

3 | 2
Silence
Opponent can't play cards for 1 tunr.
Cards denied : 1-8 cards in hand/drawn. (On average you'll deny 4-5 cards)

Instead of +1 to cost, how about having Reverse Time refund the owner of the target the card's cost? (For example - I rewind a Shrieker controlled by Player2, Player2 gets 8 ) This allows the opponent to play their card back much quicker, and if not can spend the refunded quantum on other cards, increasing the risk factor while keeping the speed.

Though I like the idea, I would think that a percentage of the casting cost's quanta is a more fair refund.  Your Shrieker example is a great case in point: Turn 1 Tower/Nova/Nova/Graboid; Turn 2 (Evolve)/RT/Graboid/Graboid/Quicksand.  Though it requires lucky draws, i still don't think that the potential quanta acceleration is anything short of OP.  However, at 1/2 cost refunded (rounded down), it would be an interesting berf (worse to use on your opponent's creatures, better to use on your own).

i would prefer RT and eternity to put creature on bottom of the deck instead of top so it will count as CC but not as card denial. also the effect (same from eternity) should be restricted in 1 every 2 turns 2 avoid ppl use it as stall. this way imo the card would be still good but more balanced.

That's nice, it solves the draw lock problem while still being effective as CC. But there's a problem: It turns in to the strongest CC ever in the game. Cost increase will be needed for this. I just realized this moments ago, my bwain is working!

[OldTrees]

Agreed. Sending to the bottom of the deck is almost the same as destroying the card. Effects that destroy creatures should try to notice the creature's hp. RT does not notice the creature's hp. It should not destroy the creature.

The card is ok.Doesn't need buff or nerf

[Vangelios]

This card no need of nerf, because is possible put the creature in game again, I think this card are very well elaborate.

fact go on to the deck instead of the hand, perhaps because of the mechanics of the game. if  hand of you opponent is full
there would be no room for the reverse time.

The ability to put the creature in game again is relevant but is not an argument. A 20 turn freeze would be OP and a 1 turn freeze would be UP. Being Soft CC does not inherently imply it is balanced.

Reverse time delays a creature as long as the player affected can't play the card. It also erases effects on the card.

How long can a deck prevent a player from playing a card?

This card, while not clearly op, is extremely annoying to play against and counters a lot of decks it honestly shouldn't...

My suggestion: keep it as is, but once used, you can't use it again in this turn OR the following turn. So basically you can use it every other turn, otherwise something horrible happens, nova-style. It's only fair and fits thematicaly in that you just shouldn't mess with the time/space continuum too much or bad things happen

You provided evidence that you get annoyed playing against it.
You have not yet supplied evidence that it counters decks it shouldn't.

It counters all slow, non-rush decks: by sending your creature back to your deck it controls your creatures, card drawing, AND quanta (gotta spend it to get that creature back on the field) all with one cheap, spammable card. It's too much.
