Great card, but most of the time I would prefer Ball Lightning.

An interesting take on Ball Lightning, trading trample and some power for evasion, largely irrelevant toughness, and the awesome unearth ability.

Wait a minute. Wouldn't Turn to Mist or Momentary Blink count as the creature "leaving play", which would trigger the exile effect?

Can you Unsummon a creature with Unearth and put it back into your hand?

@littlebeast: No, you can't blink it or any other type of "flicker," as you put it. Those still make it leave play, rfg or not. The creature will exile itself as soon as the flicker attempts to resolve because it would LEAVE PLAY.

"At the end of turn, sacrifice Hell's Thunder."

Does this effect happen before the Unearth end-of-turn effect? Ie. you can play it over and over again (because it gets sacrificed to graveyard rather than being removed from play)?

Ummm, Choasfire is actually right on this one. Unearth contains a delayed triggered ability AND a replacement clause. I was actually unsure so I READ THE RULINGS ON THIS CARD. You can counter the delayed triggered ability to keep the unearthed creature on the battlefield, but the clause remains. If the creature would for any reason be removed from the battlefield (leave play) it is exiled instead. This replacement clause doesn't use the stack.

Sorry Littlebeast and Igniteice, Wizards seem to have covered their bases with this one.

Has anyone else considered Unearth? How about flashback on Unearth with Snapcaster Mage? That way, you could get at least 16 damage out of a single Hell's Thunder.
