It's reanimation at instant speed in blue. Considering that, I'd say it's not too bad. More mediocre, really.

Except that Progenitus doesn't stay in your graveyard, so you can't bring it back. Plus this is one of the most expensive reanimators there is, and it has a color restriction. Just bad.

Not bad...not exactly good, but this card has a lot of potential for casual games.
You can activate it at instant speed, so it would go something like this:
1-Play Dreams of the dead
2-at the end of their turn, pay 2 to Resurect your Progenitus
3-Pay 2 mana to keep him (Her/it/Whatever) alive
4-Give your best evil villian cackle
5-Win!

Probably the precursor to unearth effects.

Another awesome and underloved Ice Age card! Now this is not the best use for it, but I used Alter Reality to run it in a monoblue deck. I once managed to Traumatize and dump 16 leviathans on the board in 1 turn with it. Super slooooowwww deck but I had the whole table cracking up, so it was worth it. :) Also: Great Whale or Palinchron and High Tide help pay for the upkeep if you don't go the flicker route. Oh, and don't forget to counter their Wrath of God with that Mystic Snake in your graveyard.

The only thing I don't like about this card is the artwork.... not Heather Hudson's best piece. Other than that, I'm amazed its rated under 3 stars! Really? Sure you have to build around it a bit, but this card can be quite powerful when used correctly.

I have a feeling that the people who rated this so low simply looked at it, saw the color clause and the cumulative upkeep thing, and just assumed that a card with both of those HAD to suck. The great thing about Dreams of the Dead is that it can reanimate creatures in bulk. Cumulative upkeep doesn't matter if the opponent has no permanents left due to all the Dinrova Horrors and Angels of Despair you brought back. I've played this card, and it really is good.
4.5/5
