Memory Lapse

# Memory Lapse Memory Lapse is a straightforward blue counterspell that bounces a spell back to its owner's hand instead of countering it permanently. Collectors appreciate it as a functional reprint that appeared across multiple sets, making it accessible and affordable. The Seventh Edition version represents the card during Magic's core set era, when such utility spells were common inclusions. While not particularly rare or valuable, it holds modest appeal to players building budget-friendly blue decks and to those collecting complete common sets. The nonfoil printing is standard for commons of this period. Collectors generally view Memory Lapse as a solid historical example of Magic's design philosophy rather than a chase card, valued more for playability and nostalgic significance than scarcity.
