Definitely not the best charm but its quite good if there is a reasonable target for the unearth effect.

Not on topic, but can we ban hot4boys? I'm all for creative trolling, but copypasting the same thing on almost every card is not that.

Perfectly suited for my ethereal armor aggro deck, where removal was one of the only ways I'd lose. Now try exiling my scary 10/11 vampire nighthawk or even a beefed up shadow alley denizen, but I get to keep all my auras instead! Ha!

Losing life for creature removal is fine by me, at least its equal to its toughness and not the cmc. That last ability works wonders with the shadow alley denizen and especially thrull parasite. Straight to the battlefield is the phrase i like to see :D

Throw in some blind obedience, gift of orzhova and exquisite blood (plus the vizkopa guildmage) and you've got a hurtful, beautiful enchantment deck thats faster than some aggro decks.

thanks orzhov, for breaking the mold constantly, but especially with this charm. 5/5 for art and utility!!

The last ability is just waiting to be broken with something like Phyrexian Dreadnaught. An easy trick would be to unearth Loyal Sentry.

CMC 1 or less? Another card built specifically for Ornathopter.

I don't think this card is that powerful.

Someone said they like the effect of returning a creature to your hand to reuse ETB effects, but why not just use Cloudshift for that? Sure, Cloudshift is not as flexible, but it's 1 mana less to cast, and on top of that, you don't have to recast a 4-mana spell.

Destroying a creature is a good effect, and but the downside is pretty harsh. It may not seem so bad some of the time, but if mono red/boros is going to be as popular as I think it will be, this is the removal spell you will absolutely not want to have in your hand. Even losing 2 or 3 life could be 50% of your remaining life in some cases.

Returning cards from your graveyard to play is not too bad, but the 1 mana casting cost is very restrictive. This effect is better the more blocks you have access to I guess, but in standard, there just aren't that many 1-drops that are relevant later on in the game besides Deathrite Shaman.

Overall, the c... (see all)

Might as well bring Urbis Protector back again, or or some removal whose life loss penalty isn't so bad when you're extorting anyway.
