Sorcery
Return up to three target artifacts and/or creatures to their owner's hands.
You may cast a card with a converted mana cost of 4 or less from your hand without paying it's mana cost.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Can you play lands with these since it says "a card" or not because its cast and you dont cast lands?

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Of course blue gets the weaker version of the cycle...
Sorcery speed bounce for 5. Baral better be good.
"Yes, I'll bounce my own creatures, then cast a free Wrath."
"Yes, I'll bounce my own creatures and/or those surviving my followup, then cast Yahenni's Expertise, and then Liliana of the Veil."
"Yes, I'll bounce your creatures, then follow up with an aggressive play."
I'm sorry, but this is NOT weak. The White one, however...

You cannot, because you cannot cast lands. You "play" them.
Got it, thank you
I kinda figured, just wanted to make sure I had it right.

Not bad, def flexible and as others pointed out, can be a sort of cascade-like effect if you chain other Expertise cards.
I'm just glad it is not an Instant and stayed a Sorcery to keep the cycle complete.
This might be a real engine, TOGETHER with the black one this becomes a stupid strong engine in modern with the fuse cards.
Ofcourse we want Snapcaster Mage and suddenly we have a card advantage machine gun.
Getting a Beck // Call in might be just backbreacking.
I still think a version with Down // Dirty might even be a viable combo to chain these cards (as you get them back with the Regrowth part and they discard).
I mean, the deck kinda builds itself, just go black/green/blue , goodies in each color, card advantage all over the place and a lot of discard too, Liliana in play, Snapcaster in hand, the stream is endless.
----
The blue and black Exptertise might prove to be "really really" strong, so get them while they are cheap, the combo potentially is just too big, and in worst case they still perform.
----
And i badly want to name it "Down and Dirty Sultai" , sounds like a R rated movie.
In the deck that would play this it's god tier... Except they made it a sorcery. Blargh...

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Is it just me or are the cards in this set almost over the top in their power level and utility? Bounce three artifacts/creatures, either yours or someone else's, then get a free 4-drop--there is almost no down side here.
Of course blue gets the weaker version of the cycle...
Sorcery speed bounce for 5. Baral better be good.
Of course people are going to whine about how hard done up blue is whenever a cycle of anything is spoiled. This one is definitely better than the white and green ones. Clear the board and drop your own threat at the same time.

Baral should/will cost 4, then. All of the expertise cards are able to cast their legend.

UBRKess, Dissident MageUBR - Controlling Dissidents
GRhonas the IndomitableG - Indomitable Four Drops
WUBOloro, Ageless AsceticWUB - Loot & Renanimate
Activate a enter the battlefield ability again for free on a 4 or lower cost creature.

Eternal Witness approves
I don't think you understand how good bouncing THREE things of your choosing is.
It's similar to Angel of Serenity. You have to choose among types of permanents, for a total of 3, not more.
You cannot, because you cannot cast lands. You "play" them.
And sick in limited.
