Nice to pull later in battle when you're running out of blockers. And against Mill decks, I suppose.

Hmm. He's pretty good! But who's he rooting for?

@scumbling:
you've been playing too much Reanimater. What if I popped a Relic of Progenitus? =D
I'd be sacing that kavu instantly. =D

But creatures in your graveyard are often a good thing.
"What if I popped a Relic of Progenitus?"
I'd just play more creatures from my deck. If I haven't won by the time that all my threats have been deposited in the grave, and I need to chance drawing into some more once they've been reshuffled into my library, I don't deserve to win.
Effects like this are bad unless you're running some sort of recursive tutor mechanism. Decks shouldn't need to use all their creatures twice to win (nor should they have the time to shuffle them all up and draw into them again to win).

The advantage of shuffling your graveyard into your library in any situation is that it makes it more likely you'll draw those cards. In a game against most decks, playing most decks, those cards are the ones you want to see again, or you wouldn't have used them, as opposed to the lands which have been lhinned out by you playing them.
However, all creatures is somewhat double edged, as you'll likely have smaller stuff like Birds or offensive weenies that are pretty much useless when top-decked which you wouldn't want to see. Overall though, this is a beneficial effect tacked onto a decently sized creature, 3.5 stars given when it was printed.
