@ paulbrooks9:

That combo doesn't work, and even if it did it wouldn't be that great :/ The captain will give the Gravecrawler +1/+1 to counter the enchantment's -1/-1, which means the Gravecrawler won't die on its own. Even if you play two Heartless Summonings all THAT will do is kill the Captain.

But even if you did manage to loop this somehow, you'd still be paying {B} per 1 damage to your opponent, (because you still have to cast the crawler repeatedly), likely starting on turn four or five, and that's not all that impressive. Maybe if you had a storm follow-up, but this is getting far more complicated than a combo with this card needs to be.

Realistically, having two of these out is hard to pull off (and not worth it).

The best applications with this are Perilous Myr and the highly aforementioned Myr Superion.

However, if you wanted, you could try adding Falkenrath Noble for some madcap mayhem.
Desecration Demon becomes a 5/5 for BlackBlack.
Slow down a game with a 2-cost 4/2 Lodestone Golem.
Make your Swamps work with a 1Black-cost 1/1 Crypt Ghast.
Priest of Gix becomes a sorcery-speed Dark Ritual.
If you're stuck to Modern, Basal Sliver becomes a weaker version of Priest.
Spellskite for 0 anyone?
Wood Elves basically pays for himself.
Bloodhusk Ritualist gets as close to Mind Twist as you'll get to pay for.

we're forgetting the most important thing here - it also reads "All X-cost hydras get +1/+1"!!!

I'm sorry I'll leave now I'm so sorry

Pretty neat that it costs {2}, so you can play it with whatever you were dropping after it on curve!

@Gahoojin: Take a pen and write Dredge 3 on Simulacrum. Of course, that could break any card...
