Why does this have such a low rating?!
With Dredge, this guy is an utter nightmare, letting you summon anything for basically free!

since when is 4.2 a low rating?
Stop copypasting your comments on all the versions for the hell of it :P

Depending on your deck construction this guy could be a badass. I run a creature light deck so I use Doomed Necromancer but if you run anything with token generation and Buried Alive you could be a beast with this guy.

Overrated. He is kind of trash. Much easier ways to reanimate.

Hell's formless blob.

What...skillfull art, much better than stuff like Carnophage
And yes, that was sarcasm

Reanimate something you discarded and cast Phyrexian Dreadnought...

I do like this guy, He is suprisingly handy if you can pop a token, of course he can always pop himself too! The cost is a little high to be used for competitions, but he is great for casual reanimation!

Phenomenally enjoyable casual card. I had a lot of fun running this in my Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck. It's not an overpowered bomb, but it provides a surprising level of versatility and synergy with cards that have powerful ETB effects. A cantrip creature becomes a draw engine; a ramp/landfetch creature (Yavimaya Elder, Yavimaya Granger or Pilgrim's Eye) becomes brokenly repeatable. To fuel the combo

I've been running this with Bloodghast, Nether Traitor, etc, but you could use token generators instead. I could even see using this to bounce Snapcaster Mage to maintain a control presence in .

My Ornithopter just became a Sphinx of the Steel Wind! this is a cool mechanic, kind of a shame this is outclassed by so many faster combo's.
3/5 Stars

It's nice to sacrifice Mitotic Slime's Ooze tokens to bring back... Mitotic Slime.
