@EchoSim - They're exactly what they were before, just adding a color (black) and a creature type (Zombie). For example, Hanweir Watchkeep is normally a red Human Warrior Werewolf; if it came back via the Grimoire, it'd become a red and black Human Warrior Werewolf Zombie.

Use Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas to animate it, then sac it and it will trigger morbid for everything brought back. Tri-color deck to make most use of that, but it can be done, with the lands that they have in standard.

Huh. I wonder if this would be any good directly after they printed an ability that puts counters on stuff...

WHAT happened to the rating?!
When it came out, it was one of the best rated things in Innistrad.
Graveborn comes out, and a few months later, BOOM above average rating.
W/e. Reanimation is for legacy.

My initial reaction to Grimmoire: "AWESOME"
Got one and used it a few times:"Meh"
Reaction after dropping one into my Heartless Lich Selfmill: "AWESOME... Where have you been all my life.
Shorter Version: On first look this card is awesome, though it runs clunky unless you find a will to mass mill yourself or your opponent. I love it 4/5

@DacenOctavio
Well said, my good man. This card is ten kinds of garbage, incredibly bad for constructed, too slow even for limited, = with an effect anyone can see coming. A control deck will bounce/disenchant it, a combo deck will laugh as you waste your cards and mana, while an aggro deck will kill you before the third counter is close to it.
Even with profileration, this is still far too clunky, and profilerating means you built your entire deck around this effect. It sucks for EDH, constructed and limited.
@Arachnos
Reanimators creamed their pants? With this slow, 4-turn piece of garbage? Have you ever played a reanimator? Way too slow for reanimator, you want a good creature out by turn 3 maximum, not freaking turn 6-7.

Comboes with Angel of Glory's Rise in the worst of ways.

This card has proved super useful in my deck that has a lot of sacrifice. I can get it out on turn two with a dark ritual, I can sacrifice my own creatures like phyrexian debaser phyrexian defiler and phyrexian denouncer, which will kill off one of their creatures and my own, netting me two more creatures in graveyards, discard my high-powered beasts (looking at you, reaper from the abyss), throw out useful cards like bone shredder, which I'll just use the echo cost to my advantage, and use murder and victim of night on my opponents creatures, all of which will continue to add the amount of creatures I'll control once the thing activates.
