this card would be quite awesome if you wouldnÄt have to remove the creature from the game :)
btw, i wonder when wizards decides to change the oracle of cards with +2/+2 or similar counters to get replacved by +1/+1 counters.

Works good if your creature is pacified or what not VS U/W control.

Thrull Deck FTW! Use this and Ebon Praetor along with Breeding Pit. There you go, a hard hitting setup, FROM FALLEN EMPIRES!

Nothing like trading a blood pet for an 8/8 Akroma all for just a couple of mana. The only reason this doesn't get a higher ranking is because Wizards stopped making good cheap thrulls maybe because of this card.

This card could really use some flavor text.

Good point
+2/+2 counters would/will really hurt with proliferate...

I don't think they'll ever replace the old weird counters. Sure, you could replace a +2/+2 counter with a pair of +1/+1s with little change (aside from things like proliferate), but you're still going to be stuck with the +1/+0 counters, or +1/-1, or whatever. If you're going to have weird counters anyway, you might as well keep all the weird counters.

Yeah, this card be used in some funny ways to bring back monsters. It's not that powerful, but it is funny at times.

Every other old "as an additional cost" spell used one of these wordings: "(Sacrifice a creature) to _" "(Sacrifice a creature): _" "At the time you play ~ (sacrifice a creature). _" If it weren't for the flavorful name, it would be very easy to assume that this card kills your creature on resolution, and possibly even works more like Innocent Blood than Bone Splinters.

Thrull deck? I'd rather run some of the more efficient changeling creatures available out there if I really wanted the +2/+2 effect. Regardless this is reanimation for {B}{B} which is astounding, despite the sorcery speed (which most reanimation is anyways) and the exile requirement.

Not only that, but with proliferate +2/+2 counter would be a game play change compared to 2 +1/+1 counters. Wizards wants to avoid game play changes.

I wonder, has anyone gotten back a Treasury Thrull with this yet? In some Thrull tribal deck. Make your own Sun Titan.

The +2 +2 counters for this card were printed and placed in a certain magazine back in the day. You can probably find all the Fallen Empire Creature and Counter tokens on Ebay if you're lucky.
+2 +2 counters are very likely to stay simply because they were intended to be +2 +2 counters and not two +1 +1 counters. Thrulls make funny counters, like the +1/+2 counters on Armor Thrull, it's their thing.
That being said, this card is amazing. Exiling your Putrid Imp will probably not hurt you in the long run, especially not when you have an 8/8 Simic Sky Swallower walloping the opponent.

What people seem to be failing to realize is that it can be used without thrulls at all, and is still fairly costed even without that clause. Anything that takes creatures from the graveyard and puts them directly onto the battlefield is worth at least some consideration. This has beautiful synergy with Putrid Imp, as you can both drop a threat into the grave by using its ability, as well as sacrifice it to reanimate the target you just buried. If you look at it as a cheaper, more conditional Zombify rather than a buff, it's really not that bad.
