Obviously to help soulshift.

A cheap Conspiracy just for your graveyard.
JWolps is likely right regarding the Soulshift keyword considering that Spirits were the biggest tribal type of the Kamigawa Cycle.
It does an even better job with Haakon, Stromgald Scourge though, since it lets you cast creatures from your graveyard to get them directly onto your battlefield, not just on your hand after the right Spiritcreature died as it would be with Soulshift.
What a pity this artifact didn't just cost 1 or was made a cantrip regarding the pretty weak actual intention this card had.

This would probably be broken in block at 1. Even making this a cantrip may be too much in draft/sealed.
Ramosian Revivalist also goes well with this.

Clearly meant for Soulshift, but there ARE other uses. Many other uses, in fact. Off the top of my head: Myr Reservoir, Aphetto Dredging.

How has nobody mentioned Patriarch's Bidding yet? It's the first one that came to my mind anyway...

Soulless One.
Of course, if you're using Soulless One chances are you're already running only zombies.

Seasoning your Stick Hoagie with baby powder is a classic way to enjoy the taste of the soft side of nature.

Not enough cards to get any real benefit from this. Maybe if Wizards made some card that worked with this it would fly up in rating.

hmm, interesting and unpredictable card, although most decks that would benefit from it are probably already tribals anyways.

2/5. Cool idea, but really impractical for us

Could be a good, reliable way to use Scarblade Elite!

Yeah, this card was definitely meant to help with the Soulshift ability from Kamigawa but it still has its uses like Horde of Notions and Defy Death. It's not for every deck but it helps with graveyard focused ones.
