About Surreal Memoir

Surreal Memoir, Sorcery, designed by Jaime Jones first released in Apr, 2010 in the set Rise of the Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.15.

A deck that focuses on instant spells and graveyard recursion would benefit from including Surreal Memoir, as it provides a way to retrieve an instant card from the graveyard and potentially reuse it with rebound. While Surreal Memoir offers value in certain strategies, there may be better options such as Snapcaster Mage which provides more flexibility and immediate value by allowing you to choose the instant card to cast. Whether Surreal Memoir sees play would depend on the specific deck's game plan and synergy with other cards.

Rules

06/15/10

If a replacement effect would cause a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand to be put somewhere else instead of your graveyard (such as Leyline of the Void might), you choose whether to apply the rebound effect or the other effect as the spell resolves.

06/15/10

If a spell with rebound that you cast from your hand doesn’t resolve for any reason (due being countered by a spell like Cancel, or because all of its targets are illegal), rebound has no effect. The spell is simply put into your graveyard. You won’t get to cast it again next turn.

06/15/10

If you are unable to cast a card from exile this way, or you choose not to, nothing happens when the delayed triggered ability resolves. The card remains exiled for the rest of the game, and you won’t get another chance to cast the card. The same is true if the ability is countered (due to Stifle, perhaps).

06/15/10

If you cast a spell with rebound from your hand and it resolves, it isn’t put into your graveyard. Rather, it’s exiled directly from the stack. Effects that care about cards being put into your graveyard won’t do anything.

06/15/10

If you have multiple instant cards in your graveyard with the same name, and one of them is being targeted by another spell on the stack or is enchanted (with Spellweaver Volute, for example), you must differentiate them so you know which one (if any) is chosen at random. In that case, it may be better to use dice or another method that allows you to differentiate between the instant cards to choose one at random.

06/15/10

If you’re playing a format involving only cards from the _Urza’s Saga_(TM) set and later, you may change the order of your graveyard at any time. That means the easiest way to choose an instant card at random from your graveyard is to take all the instant cards in your graveyard, turn them face down, shuffle them, and pick a card. Then you just put the rest back.

06/15/10

Surreal Memoir isn’t targeted. You don’t choose an instant card at random from your graveyard until it resolves. Once you randomly select a card, it’s too late for players to respond.
