Man oh man I want to build an esper control deck, maybe some mill combined with Vizkopa Guildmage and life. Oh the possibilities

This is like a really ghetto Gnaw to the Bone stapled to a reanimator hoser.

ultimately worse than all repeatable graveyard hosers, despite the lifegain.

In limited, targeting yourself with this as a combat trick against Wight of Precinct Six would be really funny.

@SyntheticDreamer This is WAY too slow against legacy dredge.
Couldn't believe this was a common as I got this. Still don't believe it... 4.5/5

Poor splinterfright and skaab ruinator. This card hoses the least threatening self-mill, yet keeps snapcaster and life of the loam working fine.

Name sounds like it should bring exiled creatures to the graveyard or something. Nonetheless, awesome surprise survival for a mill deck.

Kills self mill, destroys anything related to Golgari and gives you life.

WAT.

A 3-cost instant with the ability to decimate re-animator decks and mill decks that use cards like Wight of Precinct Six, while also giving you a ridiculous amount of health? Hell yes!

My friend smugly slapped down Deadbridge Chant at FNM. Junk rites.
Top decked Crypt incursion (post side board). The three people watching all ooh'ed and offered him condolences as I gained 54 life... I was the hero of a very small world for a few seconds.
This card wrecks slower gy based decks. (non-turn-three dredge decks)

My Orzhov deck was getting killed by my friends red/black aggro deck. I used this with Vizkopa Guildmage -- complete role reversal. Haha, the look on his face...

It's what Cremate wishes it could be and nothing hurts against a mill deck much like exiling all of a card type form the graveyard. This card wins games, it's really that simple.

Gaining 18 life off of this card in limited is SO satisfying.

This is like godsend - especially against what I can foresee of the 2014 core set for black:
here is the card in question that raised alarm bells:
Cost: 2 Swamp Rise of the Dark Realm Type: Sorcery
Put all creature cards from all graveyards onto the battlefield under your control.
it costs a lot, but if this is the direction the new sets are going, mass removal will no longer be adequate.

I want to try this in my removal-heavy half-vampire legacy deck. And yeah, awesome against reanimator.

Another reason i suspect Rat tribal decks are going to see a rise in usage. Ravenous Rats + Ogre Slumlord are killer. Now throw in Mortus Strider + Launch Party. And if that's not enough, Crypt Incursion on T6 just to make sure they can't catch up to you and make you eat it if they wanted to Reanimate something....

Not really good enough as hate material IMO. It's a 3-drop, which is a very contested spot, and it's... a 3-drop. That's usually way too slow against reanimator and dredge strategies unless you play it off like Dark Ritual, but then you've wasted a Rit...
Eh, okay for standard. The meta is in no way graveyard based though, and really doesn't look like it will from the design direction of Theros, so yeah.

My Commander deck managed to kill someone with this card and Sanguine Bond. This card is great sideboard/utility. I run this and Rakdos Charm for the utility and frequency of graveyard recursion in the format.

I'm using this the way it should be I hope; sparingly. I only have one in my deck, it should be more than enough if I hold on to it or manage to stall the game. Excels best in multi-player so that your options can vary.
