It's the white Morbid Plunder. Will be equally useful in limited and somewhat highly drafted, if only because white doesn't get effects like this too often.
First time white returns creature cards from the graveyard to the hand, except for "in the moment" effects like Enduring Renewal or Soulshift.

It plays very similar to Morbid Plunder in limited and is splashable too. As such, it's very good.

I like this card very much. Although this taps into the black ability to return creatures from the graveyard - and I wonder why noone has mentioned this - it's a white card to generate card advantage. For me, this should be supported even more.

I use this in my standard artifact infect deck. Oh, you got rid of my Necropede and Ichorclaw Myr? Say hi to them again.

I still think 'Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand, and/or return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.' is enough.

Choose one or both - This card is good for casual, fun games and/or limited.

Ya, I was wondering about the whole white-black aspect of this card as well until I found out she's a demonic necromanceress in disguise so that explains it.

White Divination? I mean you are going up cards. It's even better then that because you get to blank 1-2 removal spells. Most of the time it's a 3 for 1 as opposed to just a divination.

Cool little flavour tidbit I just realised: Spells and mana-sources in MtG are based on memories. So as far as the story is concerned Elspeth is now one of the few planeswalkers who could summon, say, Kemba, Kha Regent--assuming they've met--now that everyone or almost everyone on New Phyrexia has been subsumed. Assuming I've got the right of it, there's no longer a chance for any other planeswalker to learn the Mirran-affiliated spells or form bonds with lands like Glimmerpost now that they are gone or irreversibly changed, unless its possible that you can be taught or shown these things by someone else who remembers them.

Black had Grim Discovery for lands, and now green has Reviving Melody for enchantments. But which color would do instants or sorceries? Blue and red both already do, but can't disentomb creatures. I suppose we might see a reverse Despise, for planeswalkers, too.

To Bant! Everything should be all right here... and then Nicol Bolas shows up and rapes the place, so she's forced to flee.
Then she ends up on Mirrodin. There's a strong force of fighters here, nothing can go wro--
I may hate her because of her effects, but I just can't help but to feel sorry for the girl.
