It would be really mean in some sort of self milling deck, especially if you go for a bunch of cards at a time and they don't know you have it in your grave (they were to lazy to check)

In the right deck, this kills the color pie more than Dismember.

Lotta nice flavor here. Egyptian-style cards are fun. I'd prefer if it cost 3BB, but ah well.

I hope Innistrad has a "Search your library for a creature card. Put that card into your graveyard." effect to abuse the hell out of this guy.

It looks like this will work nicely along side the new Liliana of the Veil. Perfect card to dump to her discard ability.

Ha.. Egyptian Phylactery Lich.
This is one of those really strange situations where you sort of wish his toughness were lower than it is (Seriously... he would have probably been MORE useful as a 5/1, or 1/1 creature). He's at his best when he's just sitting in your graveyard - waiting to ambush your opponent's attackers. Even stranger is that his recurability is his biggest drawback. You WANT this guy to die and go to the graveyard just so that you can keep him there to protect yourself.
Very interesting and flavorful card design right here my friends. Loving these epic, build around core set zombies. I hope we continue to see more!

Combos with Dredge cards like Darkblast or Life from the Loam.

@Deco_y - You mean, like Entomb? Gamble and Urza's Hot Tub can also work, but are either much more random or more costly...
