I bought a full playset as soon as I saw it (for what troll and toad charges for one now), and have still not figured out an end to the crazy-ass things I can do with it. Although you can create crazy card advantage with memory lapse or funeral charm, it's like a better version of cursed scroll with lightning bolt, a better millstone with Vision Charm... it's as good as using the best 1 or 2 mana cost instant you can find every turn. And some of those are Vampiric Tutor, Orim's Chant... it's one of the best cards in the game for any sort of combo-minded player, I think. I have a friend who just scoops when I play it imprinted with Memory Lapse.They are not restricted in any format, and legal in Extended, Legacy, and Vintage. They've rotated out of Standard just from age. It's too reliant on other cards to be format-breaking on its own, and there are plenty of answers for it. It's just that playing almost any mono-blue or mono-red deck without it is like playing with one hand behind your back... almost. It is as much of a no-brainer in mono-blue control as Gush, Brainfreeze, and Fact or Fiction, though.</blockquote>
