I once interrupted a game between a kitchen table player and a then-standard player in a coffee shop. At my behest, the newbie, who was losing, cast Animate Dead targeting his opponent's Sun Titan returning Animate Dead enchanting Sun Titan returning Animate Dead enchanting a Phantasmal Image of Sun Titan returning Battle Rampart. The more experienced player quietly conceded. I felt bad.

In case it took you two or three times to understand the oracle text :
"When you cast this spell, target a creature in any graveyard.
When Animate Dead enters the battlefield, put target creature on the battlefield under your control. Animate Dead gains the Aura type and "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Animate Dead". Attach Animate Dead to the creature put on the battlefield by this card.
Enchanted creature gains -1/-0.
Whenever Animate Dead leaves the battlefield, sacrifice enchanted creature."

one of the most TOP DOWN designs in Alpha! :D
I know it will likely be a looong time before we ever see this again in Magic STANDARD....but never say never? :)
I think there may come a day when they would allow us to have it in the Core Set. After all, they brought back LIGHTNING BOLT, and I think Black is owed a COOL OLD REPRINT.
It's special rules and Enchantment Type make it Very Destroyable, AND the creature isn't given any buffs or protections....AND Dark Ritual and Hymn to Tourach seem Even Less Likely to be reprinted in Standard ever again.

Hymn To Tourach could be a Rare though. :P
