Oblivion Ring

This and Journey to Nowhere are the BANE of Emrakul's existence, lawlz! Take that st00p1d no-talent Polymorph decks, I have an answer... Anyway, the old school combo with O-Ring + Vedalken Mastermind is still awesome to do; despite some who would argue that paying {2W} and a {U, Tap Vedalken Mastermind:} in response to the triggered ability going onto the stack, too much work/mana to permanently exile a non-land target... What do those nuubz know anyway? This card is MINT in Pauper format!

P.S. The art on the new print of O-Ring, from Knights vs. Dragons, blows the original out of the water.

Simply an amazing removal. Only a converted mana cost of 3 and makes those scary Planeswalkers go bye-bye. Amazing in control decks that run white.

oooh it removes Planeswalkers too!! (I just realized that) Anyway, very nice, very nice. People are running Elivish Hexhunters a lot in their SB's cuz of Birtterblossom, so it'll die easily in the 2nd and third games.

First we had Pacifisms to take care of big creatures. Then, Faith's Fetters to handle activated abilities and creatures. Now we have something to make creatures, static abilities, activated abilities, and triggered abilities useless.

Quite possibly the best all around removal. Enchantment, artifact, creature and planeswalker, all gone thanks to it. You can't ask for much more from a 3cc spell.

great card and all too easy to get ahold of. even better for fast decks

This card is fantastic when it comes down to defense. I find it to be useful in Merfolk Decks and generally most decks that run white but it has its weak points. For example if they run anti-enchantment. But it is still a fantastic defensive move. I would run at least two or three.

great in draft, i've been stung by it's oblivion ring piece many times!

This is one of the best in standard for white spot removal.

Excellent spot removal, and a versatile combo piece combined with bounce effects or CIP or leaves play triggers. Slow at Sorcery speed, with the added vulnerability to Natualize/Disenchant effects. A good card, but not the universal answer some credit it with.
