A welcome upgrade of Gravedigger. It's still not fantastic outside of limited, but the old guard needs to be replaced periodically.

I like this card. Both options are viable from start to late game. The second ability allow you to choose a non-creature card, which means a land can be chosen as well. A good target for any repeat recurring.

Great Options. Cool Art Great Cycle. DRAFT Pick, FUN PICK
Probably run both in EDH though. Plus Cadaver Imp.
Kind of weird that he hits noncreatures though.

Looks good to me. NP seems to include a lot of tools for MBC; wonder if we'll see it reappear as a viable deck? That would be awesome.

They printed duress on a stick.. dang.. still costs 4 though. Seems fun for black aggro, throw in some phyrexian ragers and then you got card draw and discard. The second ability sort of goes with sheoldred by getting two creatures back, one to the field and one to your hand. I can imagine bringing back one of these with sheoldred, playing another, and then bringing two creatures back to my hand to play again.

Look at the other clerics in the cycle and see the non-overlap of abilities. This was kind of in the same flavor as such.
Earlier today I was playing my Dream Halls deck (using Conflux and Cruel Ultimatum as a win condition) again a friend's Birthing Pod deck. On turn three, expecting to win, I cast Show and Tell. I play the Halls. He plays Entomber Exarch. Suddenly I no longer have a Conflux in hand. I lost that game.

He doesn't exhume anything >< Bad name is bad. I do like the card though. Maybe Acolyte of Duress would have been more appropriate?

Flicker effects. BUG can do this T3 and start repeating it; which is neat. T2 Dark Rit into this is also powerful if you went first, nab their T2 land and destroy either a threat or a land next turn.
Sin Collector is a good choice with this card as well. Dismantle their hand a card at a time.

His first effect is more similar to Disentomb... Disentomber Exarch, possibly?

Now a viable sideboard card in modern, in Melira Pod. Can't say I'm surprised.

Brings nice consistency to {B}{W} control. Missed your Thoughtseize or they managed to kill Obzedat? Play this. Could work in a Birthing Pod deck too.
Gravedigger has a thing called "zombie" in it's creature types, might be important.
