I thought it was a pretty fun creature, mildly abusable but ultimately just very solid more than anything.
Then I saw the ruling saying it could revive itself and that's sealed the deal.

Now the real question is which is better, this guy or Teneb?

This guy IS a game winner.
-Soul's Fire combo, as mentioned
-Cruel Ultimatum every turn with this guy
The other thing is as a side note, people need to stop caring about mana costs once they're above 6ish. They stop being "playable" at 5ish if you're not using:
-a ramp
-an alternate cost
-blah
I mean, you CAN play him for 7, but you'll be doing it turn 5ish. Turn six you swing, cast a cruel ultimatum. If they don't give up. Do it again. Same mana cost; same colors. Seems like a fine idea.
In eternal formats I'd imagine you'd piper him into play, or tooth and nail, or any number of other "free creature" cards. If it's 7 mana, the idea is probably not to cast him but to cheat him in. if you do that, he's just as lethal as Darksteel or similar.

you're mind is limited combine this with the maelstrom archangel and this guy becomes a reletively powerful bamf, returning cards from your graveyard and allowing you to play them strait up without their costs. just looking at his stats and effect, he can do damage to an opponent without attacking them directly with trample. he can also be a decent blocker, what with the trample effect, and when that happens BAM, you use his effect

@ brimandvormay, I think you misread, they return to your hand, not to play, otherwise i'd agree. As it stands now a 6/6 trampler that is most likely going to return cards from your grave to your hand if it attacks, yeah, that aint half bad...
But it's not game winning...
For 7 mana, whatever I play had better Give me the game on a silver platter.. this won't do that for me, especially not with all the "die now" cards floating about...

There's better cards for 7 mana. Enough said.

I love this card. I just take my best guy in my graveyard and put it into play. Plus I have two of this card

It's just SO DULL. Yeah, it's good once you have it in play, but it is possibly the least exciting card ever printed.
