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.

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.

Yeah, put it on your Abyssal Gatekeeper. Then cast Innocent Blood.

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