wow... the first ability is not a condition for the second one... so... this is just perfect... but a little risky though...

Why three to their hand? Very playable if it was 1 for 1. 3/5

Play these advocates with Sen Triplets. Then return any cards you want to play from an opponents graveyard to his/her hand and play with triplets, and you get a powerful ability from these advocates.

Keropee: you can't activate this unless you can return three cards to an opponent's hand.
Unless the creature is going to win the game, this is pretty awful. An opponent gets three cards back--probably the worst cards in their graveyard--and you get a creature. It could make for some interesting politics in multiplayer, but beyond that I see very little use.

Nice combo with something that penalizes hand size like Black Vise.
But yeah.... there aren't too many instances where I want to be giving my opponents cards. Interesting combo possibilities though.

Would combo with something which does damage to opponent based on stuff in their hand. Like that one storm spell. Ignite memories

This is a powerful card. Either splash blue or red for "draw-discard" effects for you and your opponent, and by turn four it isn't hard to ensure your opponents have three land cards or late-game currently-uncastable in their graveyard while you have a game-ender like an Iona, Shield of Emeria.

This could cost less, but all in all it's a good card.

Something like this could be interesting anti-dredge hate, but it needs a lower cmc. By turn 4 dredge has won.

It's surprising how often I can find three cards that I wouldn't mind my opponent having back, especially when I can bring back a fatty. I run it as a good political reanimator in my EDH deck. It also helps out for giving Megrim fodder in my B/W discard deck. I think this card is underrated, you just have to account for him when building a deck.

I just realized a good way to use Advocates. Play Withered Wretch and when you activate the Advocate's ability, exile the three cards you targeted in response. The effect still resolves because it still has one legal target, so for 3 mana and a tap you get this effect without giving your opponent any cards!

this is awesome alongside Sin collector you get res targets and your opponents don't get to keep the cards you give them.
