Unsummon Blue Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village. And today, we'll be discussing the blue cards from the blue block of Magic: The Gathering. And now, we're going to go over Unsummon. Unsummon is another blue utility card. It's in the basic set; it's a common. Once again, I recommend that if you're running a blue-feature deck that you use this, especially if you are running a blue powerhouse spell domination, because what you want to do is get rid of your opponent's creatures. Now, see what this does is that Unsummon for one blue mana is an instant. It will return target creature to its owner's hand. What this means is that a creature that is already in play before it attacks you or when attack is declared, you can play this instant and instantly return that creature to its owner's hand. Yes, if the player does have manna, he can put the creature back out but he will have to wait till his main phase--his second main phase, and he will also have to repay the mana and that creature will once again come in summoning sick unless, of course, he has haste. So this is a very, very powerful card. It's great to use, and it will only cost you one. It's a very powerful card in the blue set."
