My man Neil Reeves says this is the best blue
common in Guildpact for limited play. Neil's
recommendation would generally be all I would
need to know about a card, but since I have
played with Repeal A LOT in various limited
formats, I can say from personal experience that
this card is very, very good. More than a
regular bounce spell, Repeal can help you by
giving you another card. Best of all, Repeal can
bounce ANY permanent except land.
This card makes the cut in all draft or sealed
decks, even if blue is only being used as a
splash. I don't know if Repeal will be big in
constructed, but I rather doubt it. In
constructed, Boomerang is still the king of
all-purpose bounce, and Repeal isn't likely to
unseat it.
My problem with Repeal isn't the card itself.
It's just that it does what other card do, but
less efficiently. you get to bounce ONE card.
You have to spend the exact amount of mana equal
to that targets casting cost plus one. But, the
good news is, you can always draw a card. Why
not just play Boomerang and be done with it?

Eh, it's a bit expensive, as the things you will
often repeal will be more expensive stuff. Not
for constructed, and only filler for limited
play. You won't see this in casual, either.

Repeal
Usually the point of a bounce spell is to make
your opponent waste mana to cast the same spell
twice, or to use in case you didn't have a
counterspell last time. Repeal works
counterintuitively, as you have to spend more
mana than your opponent did. But you do get
another card. Essentially it works similarly to
Remand, in that you're really just stalling for
time and trying to draw a better answer. In
Limited, there aren't really many better
answers. In Casual or Constructed, there are,
and they should be in your deck instead of this.
Constructed- 2.0
Casual- 1.5
Limited-2.9

Well repeal is
okay at best in casual play. I can see it being
good in a G/U (with alot of mana accel) deck but
other then that this card is a dud in most
formats. There is no real card advantage besides
an offhand cycle type of effect if you are
looking to draw. Not realy a fan i would say
tend to stay away if you have better to use
(like vrs a WW deck or an affinity, things along
those lines.)
