I really want this to be good. But from my testing for commander it just doesn't do what I want it to. Once I get to 6 mana, I have so many better card draw and reanimation options that this just doesn't give me enough value... I'll keep testing it, but I don't think its an auto include for BG commander.

Of course the big friend of Golgari Grave-Troll, but I don't like the way this card has to be played at all. Choosing at random from a graveyard with more than 20 cards in it is not so easy. A 20-sides die is the largest I've seen.

I've got a deck that this might work well in. I call the deck Self-Mill Human Ally Reanimator. The basic idea is mill yourself with Halimar Excavator and then reanimate Angel of Glory's Rise using Unburial Rites. The deck is mostly creatures, so there is over a 50% chance I'll hit a creature. This card could get insane with Venser, The Sojourner.

after reevaluating this card, it has to be one of the most underrated cards from Dragon's Maze. Being able to put cards in your graveyard in the Golgari colors is a tremendous help, and gives Junk Rites another reanimating weapon. Oh, and yeah; you basically draw an extra card each turn from the graveyard, and if it's a creature, it just goes into play automatically. plus, once your graveyard is empty, you can Tamiyo the same card over and over each turn. love the flavor and how playable the card is. easily a 5/5

An amazing card with a wonderfully unique effect. Great as a mythic. A couple of problems in EDH, though.
Premises:
a. I run this in a Ghave sac-engine/dredge deck.
b. The deck has lots of sac-engines and ETB creatures, such as Rune-Scarred Demon, Angel of Despair, and Eternal Witness.
That said, here are my observations:
1. It's great to cast early on, when your graveyard is still thin and you have easy ways of sacrificing your ETB bomb creatures for Deadbridge to reanimate them.
2. When you've dredged your deck down to the dregs, it's not so great and it tends to whiff badly. I tested this against my Thraximundar deck that has heavy mill/wheel of fortune effects, and the graveyard turned into the library.
Conclusion:
It's always at least card advantage, which is always great. It's a potentially deadly recursion combo engine only in the early points in the game, or if you hav... (see all)

Somehow I feel like this'd play well with the Bow of Nylea. Use the bow to tuck any cards you don't want recurred to your hand, and eventually empty your yard so you can repeatedly cast a Doom Blade on their end step? Sure, why not.

Cast this. Wait till upkeep. Pop elixir of immortality and discard a fatty with whatever.
Okay not the best combo, supposed to take advantage of self mill, but whatever :D

Sweet mama jama is this card powerful. I run it in my 5-color Zombie deck (yeah, it's a thing), and it makes the deck such a pain to deal with. It gets funny/risky when I drop a second one and start vomiting my deck into my graveyard, which then vomits it back onto the field. Though I must admit it's just as satisfying to recycle a Swords to Plowshares and then topdeck into a second Swords to Plowshares and watch my opponent rage...

Get rid of the random factor with withered wretch
Also paradox haze for more card advantage

This is a seriously powerful card. Self mill really abuses your opponent's arcane phobias, and this buster really draws out the pain effectively. I like to call it "slow and tell". Left undisturbed, this lil' leyline will double the efficiency of your strategy, no combo needed.
drpvfx did you all a solid and mentioned time warp, listen to pros guys. With an empty graveyard, it is safe to rely on the next card you cast or discard being returned to your hand on your next upkeep. HANDY DANDY DEADBRIDGE CANDY. Just for kicks here are my favorite things to dump in an empty graveyard with DBC out: entomb, angel's grace, tooth and nail, kami of false hope, and removal.
