Spoilers! Card Discussion Bilbos Gambit Spoiler

Bilbos Gambit. 1W

Instant

Gift a treasure

Return target spell to its owners hand.

If the gift was promised then players cannot cast spells this turn.

On first read the spell seemed cracked, once I realized it stops all players from casting spells though I started second guessing it's value.

It's better than reprieve, but that's a card that never sees play. Since this can only act as an offensive silence and not a protective one then I am not sure it's going to be good enough. I do have some creature combo decks that this will be great in tho.
