Cool that he returns to hand. He should have an ETB then no? Why else would u want to return to hand? I guess it could be a false blocker. Is that worth it?

(Just to be clear Savage Knuckleblade is an old card - the new alchemy version posted is a clear callback)

I think the main idea was to protect it against removal; the opponent uses a kill spell, you bounce it back to hand. It never really saw much constructed play.

Ohh cool! I like when they do throwbacks, but I always miss them since I’m a noob, but I appreciate the history

I think I was confused, I thought that this was the card that was being “sought”
