Venser, Shaper Savant (MM3)
Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
Flash
When Venser, Shaper Savant enters the battlefield, return target spell or permanent to its owner's hand.
His marvels of artifice pale in comparison to the developing machinery of his mind.

Rulings
- 2017-03-14:
If Venser’s triggered ability targets a spell cast with flashback, that spell will be exiled instead of returning to its owner’s hand.
- 2017-03-14:
If a spell is returned to its owner’s hand, it’s removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn’t countered; it just no longer exists. This works against a spell that can’t be countered.

If a copy of a spell is returned to its owner’s hand, it’s moved there, then it will cease to exist as a state-based action. It can’t be recast.
