@ Th3_Dark_On3 The flavour is obviously that it is Jesus, as it dies in returns in 3 days, er, turns, except, of course, that I beleive in this card.

Are there any cards from Future Sight that aren't awesome?
@Mlifunter It would make him a 2/2. Counters fall off.

@LouisanaxLimey, dude, chill out with the jesus talk, its the gatherer. talk about the cards please.
Anywho. Its fun to have a card that comes back (stronger) but i dont think that its amazingly standout. I do however think it is a fantastic beatstick, especially for two mana.

This guy is good in Esper,Hellbent,Madness, and many other decks. One of the better cards in an already awesome block.

Ok, I can't believe no one here mentioned Aether Vial. That is the cheapest way to use it; have it come out as a 4/4 in the first place.
If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

God, this card is unbelievable in multiplayer. Having recurring bodies is just fantastic.

Very powerful card. Works by itself as an early chump blocker or sac fodder, but it's even more powerful in a deck that's playing cards from the graveyard or otherwise cheating them into play. For example, he's probably the biggest target for Crypt Champion's ability or an Unearth.

I just drafted this online, then hit random button on the gatherer while waiting for the next pack, and got this. Spooky!

Wicked card this. This is actually one of the few cards that has synergy with both Heartless Summoning and Blood Funnel, although not without disadvantages.
For Heartless Summoning, it costs 0 to play, dies immediately and is immediately put on its suspend timer for a 3/3 that won't die properly
For Blood Funnel, its recurring sacrifice fodder for noncreature spells every third turn, or a 4/4 beater.
And of course it runs even smoother with Paradox Haze, like every other Suspend-related card!

@ LordRandomness: Um, actually Proclamation of Rebirth requires creatures to have a CMC of 1 or less. This has CMC 2. Sorry if that sounded condescending.
Anyway, this is great and all, but I think I'd prefer cheating a Myr Superion into play. Maybe with Prototype Portal, like SwordOfKaldra mentioned.
I know everybody always says "good in EDH" and it gets exasperating, but this was a surprising success in a lightly modified Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck. (I added the various dredge creatures and Splinterfright, figuring it would give me more stuff to cast out of the graveyard without fully committing me to a dredge strategy.)
A 4/4 critter for cast out of the graveyard is nice. It's even nicer when you have creatures that can move +1/+1 counters around in meaningful ways, like Ghave, Guru of Spores.

Would have been so funny if it instead said:
"When Epochrasite dies, exile it.
When Epochrasite is exiled, put three time counters on it and it gains suspend."
No removing ever wheee!

Every time he's killed, I picture him saying "I'll be back." in his best Arnold impersonation.

Fun with Flicker effects, since it is then immediately turned into a 4/4.
It would make him a 2/2. Counters fall off.
