Random Card of the Day #177:

Reiterate - 1RR
Instant
Buyback {3}
Copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Initial Thoughts:

Man, such a good card. Lolzor would come in here and bash down Buyback cards to no end, but I like them.

Sure, you can play Reverberate or Fork. Compared to that card, you are paying {4} to buyback, or really just buying {1} for the option to buyback that card.

For the same reason I prefer Capsize over Boomerang despite the huge cost increase--it's the extra option of being able to do something with extra mana. However, it is important to note that paying {1} more might be relevant in a lot of games, especially in red.

Despite that, it doesn't make the card awful. It doesn't make it particularly amazing except in EDH--which is where I use this card. 4/5
