To be able to cast a creature from the graveyard by itself is always fun.

Use this as fuel for Bone Splinters

Insane utility in the Golgari deck! With all the sac effects this card advantage machine just keeps on going. Might mean all your sac effects costs two extra mana, but mostly Golgari will have surplus mana.

this card with Thought picker witch is just sick I run this in my E.D.H. to the great disgust of many people.

@MechaKraken
If you use Reassembling Skeletonfor Bone Splinters 's cost,
that would just make a sorcery-speed Murder without counting the card disadvantage of -1.
There must be some better use of this card.

Combos nicely with Butcher of Malakir and any card(s) that sacrifce.

Ah, the Reassembling Skeleton. *Fistbump* My bro. My next favourite creature after Thrun.

I've been using this little dude as fuel for a sort of pauper's legacy Stax deck while I work on getting some Crucible of Worlds put together. He costs a little mana to wire back together every turn after loading up the Smokestack, so I put in a Black Market and some Blood Artists to cash out on all the dead creatures, with Necropotence and Skullclamp (I'm not a proud man...) for card draw. Victory comes from a massive Exsanguinate fuelled by 10-15 extra {B} from the Black Market. Extra leverage comes from using ol' Skelly with Ashnod's Altar and a Black Market/Blood Artist/Grave Pact, or a Pawn of Ulamog for mana loading and extra sacrifice victims.

There's all sorts of other crazy stuff you can do with a renewable sacrifice creature, and the Reassembling Skeleton is the most versatile among them. His only downside is that he comes back into play tapped, unlike the Nether Traitor or Bloodghast, neither of which can block, but you can just reassemble him at the end of your opponent's turn if you've got the mana left.

He's not necessarily good for every deck, but I've used Demonic Tutors for him. If that's not an endorsement I don't know what is. 4/5
