Pointed Discussion

This card and Disentomb are both exact copies of Raise Dead.

True, but this one has better flavour!

Swallowing his eye? SWALLOWING HIS EYE?!?!? How does that even make sense?

"Oh no, my enemy has poked my eyeball out with a spear, I guess I better swallow it so nobody crushes it during the battle. Then afterwards, the medics can cut my stomach open, remove my eyeball and just pop it right back in. That is the most perfectly sensible thing to do in this situation."

Perhaps he's trying to watch what he eats.

@Enemy_Tricolor:

Well played. =)

According to legend, after getting owned in the face with an arrow, he ate his own eye for intimidation purposes, lol. Wierdo.

I find it funny that a card titled "Return to Battle" doesn't return said target to the battlefield...i know that at the time this was printed it wasn't called a battlefield but still!

Return to battle???

This card name is a bit of a misnomer. It should be called "return to hand".

:(

Sexiest raise dead out there.

"Xiahou Dun lost his left eye when he was a hit by a stray arrow during a battle against Lü Bu in the late 190s, and subsequently became known among the rank and file as "Blind Xiahou", which greatly irked him. His image as a one-eyed warrior was later popularised by Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which he yanked the arrow fired by enemy general Cao Xing out of his eye and devoured his own eyeball to instil fear in his enemies." -Wikipedia

There's your explanation for the eye swallowing.

According to legend, when Xiahou Dun was shot in the eye, he cried to those around him, "This body I received from my parents will not be wasted thus!" Then he proceed to pull the eye out and swallowed it.
