My question for this card is: Can it be used to eat a creature with undying? Meaning, can I remove the creature before it can re-enter the battle field? If so, then this card is a gem indeed. I have thought that it was good, but it is great if it can be used to off an undying critter like Geralf's Messenger. Please advise.
Never mind...I just found my answer, and it is yes! That makes this card powerful and awesome! I will be using this in MBC for sure!

I like this in U/B mill/control with Undead Alchemist. Essence Scatter gives this ammo there's never anything wrong with adding mileage to your counter spells. Not to mention all the other graveyard fillers in the same colors between direct mill, creature destruction, discard, and counters.

Oh dammit, I thought I was so clever planning to run this with Treacherous Pit-Dweller, then I checked the comment...

This card is so glorious I don't even know what to say. Conditional, but exile a card from opponents graveyard and get a 2/2 with flash for one black mana. Not only that, of course, but also gets bonuses from BG Innistrad/RtR token decks. Absolutely bonkers, I'm going to be using this card as long as I can and then some.

I'm running 4 copies in my Mind Rot-Deck. Enemy graveyards are full of dropped creatures to harvest.

better than sarcomancy! works at instant speed with no foreseeable drawbacks!
I know I know... but really... how hard is it to get a creature in the graveyard? really...

The instant speed is what makes this golden. You could flash in a blocker and/or eat a creature the opponent is attempting to reanimate. It has a lot of practical uses that makes it a worthy sideboard, and for some builds, mainboarding.
