Demigod of revenge wants to dance in your cauldron.

There are so many good ways to abuse this.

only problem with eldrazi is, most of them shuffle into your library, and there abilities require casting

@ Ava_Adore : If you have 2, one in hand and one dead, it does provide a hilarious defense strategy with a net loss of zero demigods(assuming the one that supposed to go to your hand doesn't die).

My favorite is with some giant huge thing in hand (Spirit of the Night maybe) and a deadGravedigger

@Ava_Adore: Assume you have 4 dead Demigods in your graveyard and some random critter in your hand (Murderous Redcap perhaps?). You cast Cauldron Dance, reanimate the Demigod, put the Redcap onto the battlefield, have your way with them and end up with a Demigod in your hand, ready to reanimate the remaining 3 Demigods on your following turn.

Pretty good as a substitute or in addition to Torrent of Souls

@Forgeling Demigod of revenges ability won't trigger because it only triggers when you play it, not when you put it into play

I think this card is great, so abusable with so many different creatures 5/5

@Avatar_of_Wurms/GrimjawxRULES Very good points made!

Sundial of the Infinite makes this card absolutely f***ing ridiculous.
5BlackRed - Put a creature card from your hand and a creature card from your graveyard onto the battlefield. They gain haste.

Now that's intense.

As if it weren't already a powerful enough spell as a combat trick on the defensive or as a surprise-beatdown spell when cast during your beginning of combat step (before declaring attackers)! How about Avatar of Slaughter and Demon of Death's Gate? Two Bogardan Hellkites? Emrakul, the Aeons Torn from your hand and It That Betrays from your graveyard? Those can win you the game outright, and all you really have to do is somehow get one creature into your hand and another into your graveyard, and then successfully resolve a 6-CMC spell on your turn. Sundial of the Infinite just adds insult to injury. Were you only able to dance in a Furyborn Hellkite alongside your dead Keldon Marauders? Don't worry, because you'll get to swing for 15 again on your next turn! Are your Grave Titan and Kaervek the Merciless not going to get the job done? Well, you'll get to keep making zombies next turn, and Kaervek's gonna punish your opponent on his/her upcoming turn.

4/5 for power; 5/5 for versatility and fun-factor. There's so incredibly much you can do with this card, and yet it somehow has managed to not become broken. This is probably one of the coolest casual cards for Black or Red decks, and it is probably utterly absurd in EDH.

It's very fitting that this is a good follow up to Cauldron of Souls.

The value is strong with this one. Imagine free-dropping a Charnelhoard Wurm with this. Then get it back. Every turn.

Round and round and round we go.

Abusable with enters or leaves the battlefield effects, or fat creatures, or graveyard recursion, or really anything. The only downside is the hefty mana cost, but you are sneaking a creature into play, pulling a creature from your graveyard, and attacking HARD all in one card. This card will win you games.

@Havens: That's true, but it's triggered ability, unlike the (dark/blight)steel Collossi, that are replacement effects. The fact it's a triggered ability means you CAN have a response to it.
So, in the hypothetical case where your eldrazi titan dies in combat, you are able to return it to your hand by casting this card, as it is an instant.
Or you may use Doomed Necromancer or the like.
