In can completely devastate decks that rely on the graveyard. In can also be used to protect your Bridge from Belows and to kill your opponent with Helm of Obedience.

This is designed to kill dredge or loam decks, or any deck that combos quick out of the graveyard. It isn't the greatest outside of those situations, but most sideboard cards are like that. Mulligan until you get it in your opening hand and the game is yours.

Like what unban shahrazad said, this card can be used IN Dredge decks as well as OPPOSED to them. Otherwise opponents can sack like a Sakura Tribe Elder just to ruin your combo.
This card would be nice in a Living End deck (with cascade) to make sure that only your own creatures are returned from the graveyard.

does it effect you to, or just your opponents?

Also almost a staple for any edh with black. The amount of infinite recursion flying about is just nuts.

This was the rare in the first pack I ever got. Still use the card today.

Considering when it was printing, it might have well just said "Hose Golgari."

Even as a sideboard card... this card is a wee bit too narrow for any eternal format though.

Problem, Golgari?

@dybeck: Definitely an important sideboard card in eternal formats. A lot of decks in the metagame of Legacy are crippled by this (e.g. Dredge, Reanimator, Breakfast, Tog, Loam), and so are several in Vintage. I wouldn't say this -- or graveyard hate in general -- is too narrow. Like any good sideboard card (except some kinds of wish targets), it depends on the deck you're running and the metagame, but that's how sideboards operate. That's not the same as being narrow, not that narrow cards can't also be reasonably run in the right metagame.

My favorite sideboard I think; I never attend a tourney without this and a couple Bojuka Bogs mained. It's beautiful to ruin whole decks.

Pretty irritating when your opponent boards this in game two and then mulligans to 3 just to get this in hand to ruin my reanimator deck. That's not Magic, that's just being an ass.
That said, it's fun when they are on their high horse with it in play and a zero land hand, and I do something like Demystify. Congrats, you're sitting on a botch hand and now you're GOING to lose.
