This card has me intrigued. It's weird that it is the only card at puts an agent on top of the sequence instead of in the hand. If it effected sites too you might be able build a form of stasis or control deck around it with Copycat or Ancestral Discovery. Any one actually use this card much? I haven't really seen it playing against people.

this card along within a mill deck would work great. buried cathedral along with this card is the same as a target neutralization. or, if your opponent is using tutors, i suppose this would be a good way to put away a target agent as well, or at least encourage the opponent the wait until the next day before tutoring in order to redraw his agent. i wonder if any neat combos are viable with caterina sforza? you could combo with discard as well: answered prayer with this card at the start of a day means offers some interesting possibilities, but it all seems a bit too roundabout if you ask me.

You are using one card, to prevent one draw and delay an agent. Outside of any combo, it's quite expensive for what it does, and you don't get any ressource bonus. You don't lose the card advantage, and you can gain it if the agent was boosted by anything. But 4 is a lot.
I love placing cards on top of player's deck back from the old days playing Magic, but this one is not really efficient enough right now. Maybe later if it has some friends in the next card pool.
I pass for now. :]

I hope they change this one too, to let it effect sites. I think that would make it a lot more useful. Although I have noticed the bounce cards remove token agents completely. I assume that is intentional but I can never be sure.

Rha737, I like your idea with the mill deck, I haven't seen too many of them be successful though. Do you know if Caterina resets to herself if she goes back in your hand or deck? Tuism thanks for the clarification, I just didn't want to take advantage of a known bug. That saved my but when used Impending Pandemic on a bunch of beefed up Carnevale agents and was a little surprised they were all permanently gone.

Tokens are removed from the game when they leave the field. It's a mechanic shared by many CCG actually.

I played with this card whn I first started playing, but as it was said, it's def a combo card for now. While I do see it being beneficial in certain situations, there just aren't enough for me to want to play it anymore.

Sorry, I can't find the post with all the terminology on it. What is a mill deck and what are the tutors? I've seen both of these terms a lot but haven't yet bothered to find out what people are talking about. And since it keeps popping up, it's time to find out.

I'm not too sure about these terms too, but from my understanding a mill deck is one that makes your opponent run out of cards? Tutors are I think when you can search your deck to get a certain card?

Tutors are cards that let you search your deck for specific cards ( By Order of the King is a tutor card)
Milling is a strategy where you empty the other player's deck of cards.
Both names come from Magic and are named after cards (Demonic Tutor and Millstone) that did each of these things, so it is not surprising they don't make sense to you.

Oh ok cool, thanks guys! Now I can use those terms the next time I play MTG against my brother on Xbox, hehe. Poor guy was so confused when I started throwing around terms like "agent" because of coming from this game. It was actually kinda funny.

Also in Magic, if you can't draw a card because you ran out, you lose.

Is it a fact that buried cathedral buries the 4 1rst memories of the sequence BEFORE the opponent draws ?... So as to use Doctor's order in the mill deck
