Returning from the graveyard to the hand is shared by black and green. Returning from the graveyard to the battlefield is black and sometimes white (Reya Dawnbringer, Karmic Guide, Emeria, the Sky Ruin).
For this card, I think six mana is too much. You're going to need creatures in the graveyard, this in play, and then resolve a fatty before it does anything good. At five mana, with 3, maybe 4, toughness this would've been more playable.

seems good but not sure if it this is a true naya card. yes the whole power of 5 is here, but the creature return? that seems more grixis-like to me.

So if you have this out and a primordial hydra out after if becomes a 5/5 will paleoloth ability trigger every upkeep? Please would really like to know

Sorry. If this is the best thing you can think of to do with Sneak Attack, you really don't deserve a Sneak Attack. You must meditate more and then it will reveal itself to you.
As for Paleoloth, it's a vanilla 5/5 for 6 until your next big creature hits play. At that point you have 2+ five power creatures. How much do you care about getting a one mana effect for free?

I was hoping you guys might be able to help me with this (I'm also going to be posting this under the rulings forum too, but I figured I might as well ask here.).
I was wondering, what happens when a creature with only 4 power enters the battlefield, but you have out Glorious Anthem giving them +1/+1. Would they still activate Paleoloth's effect, or would they still only enter as a 4/4 before receiving the bonus? (I know this is probably a stupid question for all of you, but one of my friend's brought it up, and I don't really know the answer.)
As for my rating of this card, I personally love it. Right now it fits perfectly into a naya beast draw deck that I'm running. It makes it so much easier to get out lands by returning sakura tribe elders from the graveyard to my hand and such.

I like to play this with Spitebellows. Play with evoke and make six damage, evoke another bellows and return the first played to your hand. Clean the board from opponents most annoying creatures and attack with this.

Goes infinite with Baru, Fist of Krosa's Grandeur. That's a scarily easy combo you don't even have to build a deck around...
