Venser, Shaper Savant

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard

Flash (You may cast this spell any time you could cast an instant.) When Venser enters, return target spell or permanent to its owner's hand.
His marvels of artifice pale in comparison to the developing machinery of his mind.

Rulings

6
  1. Wizards of the Coast

    If Venser's triggered ability targets a spell cast with flashback, that spell will be exiled instead of returning to its owner's hand.

  2. Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell is returned to its owner's hand, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works even against a spell that can't be countered.

  3. Wizards of the Coast

    If a copy of a spell is returned to its owner's hand, it's moved there, then it will cease to exist as a state-based action. It can't be recast.
