Very chuckle-inducing

Top Ten best flavour text.

And yet he can't reanimate Phage.

I prefer the picture on the Tenth Edition card, but this is some really excellent flavor text. 10th's is good too, but this wins in my opinion.

Here's a little combo for mercenary deck lovers. One of the biggest problems with mercenaries is that they search from up to down, unlike rebel from down to up. With that said, you can play Mercenary Knight, Doomed Necromancer would then bring the big creature back. Both of them are mercenaries so they could be fetched too.

Hands down best flavor text.

This alongside Anger and you get a Zombify.
Granted there's lots of more effective way to reanimate (faster and/or cheaper), but at the time of Onslaught, this was rather pretty good :).
I'm still running that deck now for casual and it's fun and reliable without being too much of an issue for the wallet.

Oh and also, T1 - Swamp, Dark Ritual, this. T2 - Swamp, Putrid Imp, discard a bomb with haste preferably (like Akroma, Angel of Wrath or Rorix Bladewing).
It isn't THE best play for reanimation, but it is quite good. I mean, what kind of elitist would complain putting a bomb (and potentially an attacking one) on turn 2? :)

I like the cartoony art for this card. Both printings of him are have good pictures.

Also, you can kill the flavor of the zombie killing him by reanimating a Tree of Redemption.

Haha, ironic that reanimating Phage the Untouchable would be a bad idea
