Great mid-game casual combo with Reya Dawnbringer. Use it to bring Reya into play on the cheap. As long as Reya is in play you can bring this guy back each turn and use it to fish for other creatures in your deck. This works best if Reya is the only angel in your deck.

My Room mate uses 4 of these to search for Progenitus.....and they work well.

This has become much more useful recently for two reasons: 1. Every creature has a creature type now, even artifact creatures. 2. Many ridiculously powerful and expensive creatures have the "shuffle this into your library if it would be put into your graveyard from anywhere" clause now, which means they typically can't be reanimated, but this card can still cheat them into play.

Quite underrated as a one-card-combo to bring out Iona, Emrakul, or Progenitus. Yeah it costs more than Polymorph, but you don't have a build a deck around it, just make sure you don't have any other Angels, Eldrazi, or Hydras in the deck.

Blue beater toolbox's best buddy. :)
Okay, so maybe the idea of a "blue beater toolbox" isn't too terribly popular. But come on. Even if he's just to spring the only Hydra in your deck (coughProgenituscough), he's worth it.

I use these in my shapeshifter casual deck to bring out Hypnox...which I then copy again and again using my other shapeshifters. Very fun.
This little guy can be deceptively powerful. As someone who plays EDH, I can attest that this card has won me many a game. Most people who are new won't kill it immediately, giving me a time to tutor for any number of powerful things at instant speed. It's gotten to the point where I have an answer to literally every scenario that I can come across because of this powerful card. Overcosted for constructed? Yes, but is sneaking out Lazav, Dimir Mastermind in response to Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger funny as hell? Yes.
