For what it's worth, Whispersilk Cloak can increase the survivability of this by a lot. Works wonders in a rogue deck.

Is the ability "Remove a card from their graveyard, then if there are no cards, flip it" or "Remove a card from their graveyard, and if you can't, flip it"?
EDIT: Thanks for the update, theis!

Turn 1: Swamp, Tap for Dark Ritual, Drop Nezumi, Flip. Result, opponent crying that you just dropped a 4/2 with 1 mana.

An instant flip with Tormod's Crypt on turn two, or three if you want a big surprise. Or Dark Ritual -> Thought Seize -> Nezumi, then Tormod's Crypt next turn.

@Angelicarbiter: pretty sure he doesn't work that way. He needs to remove a card from a graveyard to flip first.
Nevertheless, if he came out on turn 2 that means he can easily remove the next card that gets sent into the opponent's graveyard and flip for the win.

This guy is FANTASTIC in an EDH deck b/c they can't build to have the answers as easily.

The ability has to have a legal target (a card in a graveyard) to be activated and resolved. It's all one ability. So, if the graveyard is already empty, you can't activate the ability, Graverobber doesn't flip.
If it were 2 separate abilities then it would flip without having to exile a card first.
