Remember kids, you may use this ability even if there are no cards in an opponent's graveyard!

Good meta card against reanimator and other graveyard-based decks.

@McThor- No, you can't. You need to target a card in an opponents graveyard to activate the ability.
however, you can respond to the ability by removing the targeted cards in their graveyard from the game.

Just one +1/+1 counter? No. Two, then maybe, seeing as you'll only use this when they have junk in their graveyard.

Ooh just stumbled on this. Animar, Soul of Elements EDH could greatly benefit from this.

You know, I bet when this was printed, it was like "Hey, players will use him to buff creatures, but with the drawback that he'll send a card in an opponent's graveyard back to their hand! And they'll be limited by how many cards are in their graveyards!"

I saw it and was like "Hey, anti-reanimator tech. Oh shoot, you need to choose a creature to put a +1/+1 counter on to do it?"

I like this card. Personally, I think all "unity" cards in the prophecy block are a lot of fun in EDH. You generally are not considered a threat, especially with a nonthreatening ability like this, it also helps if you are using the druid's ability to buff other player's creatures too :p. I don't win many EDH games but I have a good time.
