This will see play in every EDH decks with these colors. Side from that, don't think it will see standard play.

The Mimeoplasm could definitely use this card. You search for Mimeo while dumping creature of your choice into the graveyard.

Very nice. It doesn't reach the power of older tutors or reanimation enablers, what with costing four mana in two colors and being sorcery speed, but it's still pretty good.

Almost better than Diabolic Tutor for decks (too bad it only pulls creature cards). A pity there's so much graveyard hate in this set.
And why is Jarad threatening his subordinates with death? They'll just be deader than they already are. Or they'll just come back with more mushrooms on them. Death is meaningless to the Golgari. Maybe he's just pulling their legs?

Best tutor for reanimator decks ever.

Wish it wasn't mucked up by character-related flavor. Will still use it tons in EDH though. Great card.

This is a pretty good tudor that pros like me will use often. Tudor Jarad himself and throw a creature with scavenge in the graveyard!

This is a Johnny card, so if it does get good it'll be amazing. Doesn't look promising with the prevalence of GY hate in the set though.

Lots of awesome possibilities with Necrotic Ooze going to your hand, and another creature to dump in your graveyard, like Minion of Leshrac. I'd definitely like to see this in Standard, but unless there is a crazy combo in the new sets to come, this is likely going to be played more in EDH.

I'd say the in the cost versus in Diabolic Tutor is worth it for EDH, because if you're playing Black/Green without even just 1 reanimation spell in EDH (something like Living Death), then you're probably doing something wrong.

I got two of this card at the prerelease, very fun to use it to put Carnival Hellsteed into your hand and a good Scavenge card in the graveyard.

I want to make some kind of B/G/Maybe a 3rd color EDH deck revolving around the graveyard maybe dredge, this is tops on the list to go in.

It's a tutor. That alone makes it a good card. It also lets you perform graveyard silliness while not being strictly focused on just that strategy. A very good card!

I am trying to figure out how good this is.
I don't think it's as good as people as think it is.
It's Golgari-colored, and it seems based on Gifts Ungiven.

You know what, even though Realms Uncharted was a relative flop, I'm going to assume this is a ticking time bomb, and stay as far away as possible so it doesn't take me with it when it blows sky high.

Did no one else notice that it reads "up to two creature cards"? Seems like a decent card in a lot of situations, whether you want to pitch to the graveyard or not.

Really awesome tutor for The Mimeoplasm EDH. Search for Eternal Witness and a large creature to reanimate with your commander (Lord of Extinction?). Then cast the Witness and retrieve that Nevinyrral's Disc you used earlier (or just Jarad's Orders if you want another go at it) :P

Jarad: Agent P, the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz has been hard at work purchasing prime real estate for the Izzit Guild. We don't know what he is planning but it smells rotten. You see how I made that joke about smell and rotten since this is the Golgari. Heh. Yeah, I'm still working on my material. So go over there and bury that problem.

This card's rarity kinda bugs me. I understand it for Limited, this would probably make Golgari decks too good, would be a decent splash for Rakdos even if it was at uncommon. But for those of us that like to bust packs like lottery tickets looking to get the money card we would never get otherwise, it sucks to get a Diabolic Tutor variation for your rare. Still dig the card, though, solid 3.5-4/5.

I am quite glad this card exists. 1. Because it's an (albeit expensive) card-drawing Worldly Tutor, and 2. because it's an (albeit expensive) creature Entomb.

search for crypt champion and saffi eriksdotter, putting saffi in your graveyard. next turn play the champion and go infinite.

does no one get that this card is basically a way to get two cards in your hand. just choose Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to be put into the graveyard and then later you can bring him to your hand.

Flavour text bugs me. 'Discern what or die trying.'

Corpsejack Menace in the hand and then scavenge card good for your current mana balance in graveyard. This is the proper way to play it

Are you sure about this? I would love to not be required to put a creature into my graveyard if I am going against a deck that gets more power for cards in my graveyard.

@BigRedBrent You do realize this is Golgari, right? If you're playing it right, then using this will be nothing but advantage. I don't know why you'd be running it if you're worried.
If you include this in a not-Golgari deck, you are either A. Self-mill (Idk how in B/G, but it's possible) B. Flashback (Again, B/G? Really?) C. Reanimator (Very likely) D. An idiot
Say you converted Eladamri's Call from GW to 2G. Then, you basically stack on a limited entomb for B. Granted, at sorcery speed, but still an underrated card, especially through the various evolutions of reanimator and midrange strategies.

I know it was like a year ago when you posted your comment, but I think you misread the card. Your opponent gets no choice as to what card you put in your hand or your graveyard. As such, it is both a tutor and a targeted miller, which makes it great in my book.

I actually have this in my modern deck. I side it in against slower matchups. It's a perfect card with Demigod of Revenge, as it curves out and essentially gives you 2 big dudes swinging for 10 next turn.

Sometimes it takes me a while to fully understand the potential of a card, and this one is nothing but.
With Jarad EDH, Tutor your Lord Of extinction into your hand and your Golgari grave troll into the graveyard. Proceed to sac and dredge The grave troll than sac lord of extinction for game. For added fun add Mindcrank into this mix.
