Tymaret, the Murder King and this gives me hope for some kind of grixis zombie deck later in the block.

3/3 defender for 1Black isn't too shabby, and at least it has the potential too attack.

Say what you will, it's one hell of a wall.

Oooh, that flavor text could not be cooler. The Returned have a lot going for them in terms of fluff, but that is haunting.

By a long shot The Returned are my favorite race in Theros. I like their designs, their backstory, the masks, everything... except their cards Dx though this one seems sweet in limited. Blocks pig tokens all day every day.

a 3/3 for 1+B is pretty good, added to the fact that it "could" have tons of zombie support later in the set just makes it an great small creature to get u rollin

"Would have liked it more if it had been 1BlueBlue: CARDNAME loses defender. Period. I DO like having creatures with defender and high stats. I LIKE having to pay costs and 'break seals' to get rid of defender. I don't like having to pay those costs repeatedly though. :/" -- DarthParallax

Good point about the "breaking seals" thing. Players probably like it better for limited this way though, paying BlueBlue there is often a problem, and being able to cast something else while still having two mana for its ability is pretty nicely managable as well. That's the impression I got from playing against Returned Phalanx at least; it caused me quite some trouble.

Losing defender should be a red ability.

Some of the coolest art on the set and one of the more under-rated cards in the set, IMO.

Too few spears in the illustration to be considered a phalanx, methinks.
