Here's my question, at the beginning of the effect it says "Return," does that mean monsters like Emrakul or creatures like Reya Dawnbringer can't be revived if they never touched the field? (Assuming they were discarded.)

Freaking Tenth Edition is SO GOOD. When it remakes cards they're better than the originals, as opposed to many core sets.

This alongside Anger and you get a Zombify.
Granted there's lots of more effective way to reanimate (faster and/or cheaper), but at the time of Onslaught, this was rather pretty good :).
I'm still running that deck now for casual and it's fun and reliable without being too much of an issue for the wallet.

Oh and also, T1 - Swamp, Dark Ritual, this. T2 - Swamp, Putrid Imp, discard a bomb with haste preferable (like Akroma, Angel of Wrath or Rorix Bladewing).
It isn't THE best play for reanimation, but it is quite good. I mean, what kind of elitist would complain putting a bomb (and potentially an attacking one) on turn 2? :)

@Coufu and KingRusty - It wouldn't be able to reanimate anything that isn't in the graveyard...so Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and Serra Avatar aren't legal targets, even if discarded (since they hit graveyard and are then shuffled into your library).

@Alsebra
The "when" part of emrakul and serra avatar should tell you that this is a trigger. You can respond to the trigger by sacrificing the doomed necromancer to get the target in play. Since the card will change zones from graveyard to battlefield the ability shouldn't be able to find the card and shuffle it into the library afterwards.

if he would reanimate sun titan, he wouldn't be doomed as what should be. 4.9/5

Him, Rotlung Reanimator, and Skirsdag High-Priest make for good black cleric synergy. (I'd still splash white!)
But basically, he dies, gives you a zombie, and another guy; giving you two new bodies to tap for skirsdag while activating morbid. Them all being humans helps with Devout Chaplain to hold down things that 5/5 demons and kill cards can't handle.
Quite a bit different usage (surprisingly) from Apprentice Necromancer who is better used for a fat-hasty thing or a combo creature like Hellcarver, Strossus, or similar. This guy tends to be better for getting a fat thing that you're not relying on; you just want him back.
Worth noting that he's a 2/2 beater that costs only as much (total) as a regular reanimation spell! In {B}{R} with Anger you can effectively replace Rise from the Grave style cards (most of the ti... (see all)
