They've been giving Black some unconventional ramp via Liliana of the Dark Realms and Crypt Ghast, so things like this are actually quite playable; T5 no less.

Lovely. Casting this will be fun as ***.

If Tooth and Nail was able to dominate standard, I think this can too. Same cost, and just about as powerful in the right hands. Don't be surprised if this sees Standard play.

As much as it annoys me to have such planeswalker-centric flavor (I want it to be MY spell, not Liliana's!), this card is spot on.

@Flavour text: Well, that sounds pretty sound. Can't argue with that kind of logic.

@Singe That sounds like an erotic MTG fanfiction...
All joking aside, this card is magnificent. Probably not going to see much tournament play,, but nevertheless beautiful.

Beautiful card in a game with three or more players. Well, beautiful in the sense that everyone else gets about one more turn before you crush them.

The new stable in all EDH decks with black. So you play a board wipe, whatever shall I do? >:)

@MostlyLost The thing about tooth and nail is that it finds and plays the creatures for you. That means, as long as you have tooth and nail, you essentially win the game if it resolves. With this card, you have to have the graveyards stocked up nicely to get the win.
The tooth and nail decks that dominated usually grabbed kiki-jiki and some ridiculous creature like sundering titan. Use kiki on the titan and get 3 triggers of his ability. Against a dual coloured deck, they basically have no lands left.

My Vish Kal reanimator EDH has waited so long for this card.....
Also, the potential this card has in a Scion of the Ur-Dragon Commander deck is hilarious.

Personally, I hate this type of blatant "you win the game" cards forced upon Commander players. Since Wizards took over the format, they have proved that they can design really interesting EDH cards. Unfortunately, at least once each set, we get something like this. This reminds me of something a beginner would come up with if asked "design your ultimate multiplayer card". Intelligent cards, please - I can do without straightforward, stupid power.

Turn 10: This.
Turn 11: Win.

Hee, I can't wait until that sentence comes out of my mouth.
