Released as part of the WC98 expansion, this card allows players to counter a target spell and place it on top of its owner's library rather than sending it to the graveyard, offering a unique tactical option compared to similar effects. Collectors often seek out cards from the World Championship Decks series due to their historical significance in the development of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. While Memory Lapse is printed as a common rarity, its inclusion in this set connects it to the competitive landscape of the late 1990s.
