I've heard people say this is too inconsistent to be a good Mind Control effect. I'd say yes, HOWEVER, it's a flexible card. You can also use it as a worse Undying Evil. I think it gives you enough options that it's playable, even in standard.
(I'm tempted to run a couple in a control deck with kill spells)

Well Hi there, Sun Titan! Look who's even more annoying to get rid of?

It's no Animate Dead, but it's still nice. :)

So much fun particularly when you have a powerful creature that is causing problems for your opponent. Do not b fooled. This is a very playable card.

Good in removal decks, put it on a big fat juicy mamma your opponent just cast and kill it. And say " Now how do you like them apples"
I'm glad that gone are the days when Magic had to worry about upsetting squeamish parents.
I mean, if you had to pick a card that would cause an uproar and to convince parents that playing Magic would make children start worshipping the Devil, I think a card called Unhallowed Pact that shows a demon dragging a corpse out of the ground would be a solid choice.
Though, I think Zombie tits could also cause an uproar.

Keep in mind that this resets the number of counters on an undying creature when it triggers, giving it a total of four lives to go through- unlike Undying Evil, which if played on something that already has undying does diddly-squat.

I cast this on my opponent's Demon Lord of Ashmouth and it attacked and I blocked it with my Maalfeld Twins and I got two 2/2s and a Demon Lord of Ashmouth at once.

I played this on my opponent's Harvester of Souls, got attacked for 5, then killed it with a Death Wind the next turn. Once the board built up I was able to Barter in Blood and draw 4 cards. That's why I will forever love this card. It may not be a Control Magic, but being able to permanently steal your opponent's bombs, or Totem Armor yours, is still a great ability.

I have a question, if enchanted creature dies.... what happens with the enchantment? does it remains in play? My guess is no, otherwise it´s like turning the creature into an immortal creature.

How does the ruling of this work with Treacherous Pit-Dweller? Obviously Undying would still come into effect, but is he under your control or an opponent's?
I like this a lot. Great in making an aggressive statement when Enslave is dispelled somehow, and triggers "When X enters the battlefield.." -abilities

Unhallowed Pact Pact {0}
Enchant creature
Echo {2BB}
When enchanted creature dies, return that card to the battlefield under your control.
If you don't pay the echo cost, you lose the game.

Try playing it on one of your opponent's creatures ;)

I would love to use this except for one big problem:
My two Pestilence Demons. The earliest I ever got them out was on my turns 4 and 5.

T2: Abyssal Gatekeeper (they probably don't attack because they want to keep their guy) T3: Put this on whatever you want.

Note that this card brings back Persist/Undying creatures that already have counters on them, resetting them for an extra two deaths later.
