Bonehoard or Mortivore. Take your pick. Either way, this is pretty solid.

Bestow ind Edh, your opponents board wipe, she falls into play as a massive surviving creature.

In mill she's a beast.

Great card.

How would this work with Zur?

@monstersexist: It'll be an enchantment creature with P/T equal to the number of cards in all graveyards. Bestow will only work if you cast it.

I pulled this guy during draft and I started calling him Scrat, after that acorn crazy sabertooth squirrel from Ice Age. I mean, how is this guy a horror? He looks like something that tries to crawl up your pant leg looking for nuts.

No wait, that is kinda scary.

Usually, I don't like cards that rely on graveyards, especially with all the graveyard hate in Ravnica in response to Innistad,
But dat bestow cost tho.
Bestow is a really great mechanic, because it gives you an enchantment and makes(in this case) any creature into a fatty, and you get another slightly smaller fatty when that one dies, and it's an enchantment the whole time to fuel Sphere of Safety and Ethereal Armor.

Hold on a minute… It says Nighthowler AND Enchanted Creature EACH get +×/+×. Does that mean you get DOUBLE the +1/+1 counters because you’re counting the creature cards in the graveyard for the enchanted and Nighthowler at the same time?

A cool thought is that as long as you bestow it, even if there are no creatures in any graveyard it will always be at least a 1/1 when it falls off.

This thing is so good.

Can work with blue/black mill where you turn two Breaking, or in green/black stuff like Drown in Filth. Even stuff like Tome scour and Mind Grind.

@ monstersexist

badly. Very badly. Zurr doesn't want this.

Jarod on the other hand DOES.

Used this in booster draft today, absolute bomb. Won me three games just by itself with a combat trick or two after it had been bestowed. Took first cuz of this guy.

This is the best enchantment creature in terms of its bestow cost. One extra colorless? Hell yeah I wanna give that to someone. Personally, I like to put this on Jace's Phantasm, since fliers in mill are few and far, and it doesn't scale like Wright or Consuming Aberration

I have a question, I have been playing with this card for about a week now I have been wondering whether or not I can tap Nighthowler at the same time as the enchanted creature?

Should provide plenty of fun in standard when Born of the Gods comes in, mostly in Dimir decks that are running a few copies of Phenax.

Is the P/T changing with every creature going in or out of the graveyard? Or is the P/T set whenever you cast it?

@InthenameofRa The p/t changes every time a creature hits the graveyard.
@Ableflable If it is bestowed, it isn't a creature, it is an enchantment. So you can't tap it.

Beautiful and deadly, might go unnoticed in a multiplayer game until someone realizes it's EACH PLAYER and then they look at your graveyard and realize you're playing some good ole standard dredge...because of course you are with this guy right?
