You can get around that "remove from the game" clause if you keep bringing back creatures with sacrifice effects, like Bottle Gnomes or Stronghold Assassin.

@damagecrab: The last line says to exile the creature, not the card. If it is anywhere else but on the battlefield, it is no longer a creature, therefore not exiled. Besides, the Oracle rulings at the bottom even say that it is only exiled if it is still on the battlefield.

Coprse Dance works great in my Sedris commander deck it. It's even beter than unearth from my general. Havin Kagemaro or Fleshbag Marauder on top gives great instanspeed removal. It also makes sick things with Teferi's Veil and Sundial of the Infinite.

Goes great with Primeval Titan as you'll get enough lands that the next time you find this card you'll be able to buy it back and still play other spells. That said, it'll work wonders with any Titan.
Shallow Grave was a budget card not too long ago and shot up to $10-15. I sold my set, and bought a set of these to replace it in casual; and who knows? Maybe someone will start winning GPs with this due to the recursion!

Ashnod's Altar? More like Greater Good. If you use legendary fatties, you can also use the cheaper Goryo's Vengeance.

Back in the day, I had a deck that dropped Nicol Bolas into the graveyard for a massive hit using the haste granted by this card. The fact that it had buyback made it even better, and it works very similarly to the modern Grixis Unearth mechanic.

I used to play this thing with Recurring Nightmare.

Unearth on a stick...this card is amazing at first glance and keeps getting better. First and foremost the card brings back any creature for no negative cost, other than its removed from play if and only if it is still on the field at the end of the turn. So if you use this with something like Unsummon you can return the creature and save it. Use it with something like Ashnod's Altar and you can bring the creature back later. The fact the creature gets haste means free swing. The fact this card is an instant means you can do it in your combat step (and when blocking!). This card is just simply amazing. Not too useful in fast formats like Vintage and Legacy though...unless you bring back a huge fattie like (as posted earlier) Nicol Bolas.
