What happens if I use him to cast something like Beacon of Unrest? It is part of the spell's effect that it be shuffled into the library, but does the flashback exile overrule this?
Also, I was thinking that with Necrotic Ooze; I can use Dralnu without being afraid of his secondary effect.
EDIT: Also, now you can use him to cast ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE from your graveyard.

@AO6O2: I do believe that were that to happen, it would indeed work.
Although, it getting into your graveyard in the first place seems rather unusual.
I love this guy. He's definitely an EDH waiting to happen. Perhaps with the new Increasing cycle from DKA? There's a metric tonne of exploitability here.

This is a...fairly well made legend. I mean it, I like this guy, and for the most part I hate things like this.
If you can protect him, he's a valuable tool for re-blastings folks. Especially with things like, perhaps, Corrupt. Brutal. Very brutal.

I have a feeling that this card would be run a LOT more if it didn't have its drawback. But here's the thing. In EDH, no one runs burn for spot removal. Sometimes a card like Blasphemous Act will be played, but even in that event, you are probably running a deck with a few sac outlets. Given that, this thing is like a Havengul Lich for spells.
Do it like a man. Equip a Sword and swing in for balls factor.

Look at this guy.
LOOK AT HIM
You TELL me he isn't the most fitting EDH general ever.
That artŘ that cape, that smug stance. And if he's going down, da. mned if he isn't taking your entire field with him.
I mean for crap's sake, he may be a wizard now but he has LORD written on his subtype line.
He is built to rule over your B/U control deck.
I'm building a mostly innistrad/DA Zombie swarm control deck, he's at the helm like a boss.
It could be grimgrin. It could be Mikaeus, The Unhallowed. No, it's him, because I want to counter kill everything.
Let's just hope I can get magebane armor, so I don't have to kill myself thanks to burn.

and thus i hold onto that Go for the Throat I'd been saving. Oh, you lightning bolt him? GftT. -next turn- Shenanigans again? Flashback GftT. Suck it. Makes a wonderful EDH general. Running him in a U/B sliver control deck. Pretty interesting when I've got 4 blue mana open and someone couterspells my counterspell

A friend of mine had a Dralnu EDH deck that was built around Dark Depths/Marit Lage. Pretty fun and a good deck, until somebody Alpha Brawl'd Lage while Dralnu was out...
Needless to say, he switched his general to Wrexial, The Risen Deep shortly after that little incident.

Dralnu's ability preventing damage refers to cards like Lich, Lich's Tomb and their ilk. Basically, being a lich means you don't lose life (because you're already dead, duh) but you lose your... I think they're called "Phylacteries"? Horcruxes, basically. Little bits of your soul in material objects.
