So if someone were to use a card such as Day of Judgment would you get all the creature permanents destroyed this way even though the Prince would get destroyed in the process? would it matter who played the judgment?

This guy is deadly but the mana cost is a poblematic issue. Wish he was a zombie demon. that would be great.

At first I was like....'darn, this card suffers from high CMC, and all those colors'....then Premium Deck Series Graveborn came out and I was like: "Oh..well, I guess...that doesn't...matter now...''
A good Reanimator deck wants to specially tailor its creature 'toolbox' to be good at any point in the game. Crosis, for example, is great to Reanimate on turn 2 or 3, because his ability will be relevant and activatable by turn 3 or 4 barring catastrophe, and his disruption can ensure that his attacks destroy opponents in a timely fashion.
However, putting all your eggs in Crosis is dumb. The first 'KILL DAT NOW PLEEZ!' instant from your opponent might set you back a whole turn. Prince of Thralls is an excellent card to play late game* right before you do something that only a Reanimator is enough of a douchebag to do:
Armaggedon. That card costs 4, so you should be thinking about Reanimating the Prince on turn 3*.
*To clear up confusion, Turns 3-5 are considered ... (see all)

Note that Unscythe says "may" in its effect. Thus, if one wishes, they can just take out Unscythe's effect altogether, making things obviously simpler.
@KaijeSonra
With Day of Judgment, all creatures are put into the graveyard at the same time. After this happens, Prince of Thralls isn't on the battlefield in order for his triggered ability to activate.
For some flavor points, the term "Prince" originally was a synonym for "King." Also, Prince of Thralls is one of the few demons without flying (alongside "Ob Nixilis, the Fallen")

I have been wondering what the erata would be for this card b/c it says (when ever a permenant an opponent controls is put into a graveyard) does that mean from anywhere or only from play? or would it be possible to make them discard a card and if it was a permenant take control of it unless they pay 3 life?

As it costs 8 mana the only time this card seems useful is with telemin performance and memory erosion, as to simply remove the card memory erosion will put a few things into the graveyard, probably a creature, and allow you to take over that creature asap. Otherwise you need some negates and counter spells to back up the vulnerable 8 mana creature on the field. Discard would also help with its ability, like sedraxis specter.
As for the dragon arch comment, yes, dragon arch is awesome.. but many of us use only recent cards due to playing extended and standard, where dragon arch isn't a legal option. By that comparison, there are several much easier choices, including mox cards and others. For more recent sneaking big creatures into play there is mosswort bridge and elvish piper.

Play this card with traumatize and you get half the opponent's library on your side in one turn. It's awesome.

Try Using Tramatize with it. You win the entire game.

A 7/7 for 8 multi-colored mana cost with a great ability? Not bad. But not good enough to make it a MYTHIC rare. If it was 7/7 for 8 with trample or maybe flying then it's mythic. Still a great card 4/5.
