Why do I not have any of these in my reanimator deck? Probably because I was unaware of it until now. Thanks Archenemy article.

Beacon of Unrest is a bit expensive; I prefer the Dark Supplicants as well.
Anyway, forget effectiveness for a moment, this card is just very fun to play !

Dark supplicants are good for him and providing good support to others clerics in a cleric black deck like vile deacon

turn one: Dark Supplicant
turn two: two Dark Supplicant tap the first one for turn two Scion of Darkness
anyone know if a creature dies and then scion deals damage will it bring the creature back? like in combat from blocking? oh, i know its obvious just pointing the combo/synergy/obvious ability

You could go the old T1: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Entomb, Reanimate route. Not the best card to use it on, and you can say the same combo for any other creature in the game, sans a few, but still a good way to get him out turn 1.

This was the first rare i ever got, and i never succeeded in using him, since whoever he hit either stole him with dream leash, or just blocked with enormous baloth. now he lives in my reanimator deck, and now they're scared of him. turn 2 scion is nothing to sneeze at.

One of the first 'fatties' I had ever seen, and I had always wanted to make a deck that could cheat it into the battlefield. And so a mono-black cleric deck with Dark Supplicant, Grave Pact, and Dread Return was created.
@Blindthrall
It actually states in the rulings, "If this card destroys a creature in combat and at the same time (using its Trample ability) it damages a player, you will be able to target the destroyed creature (if it was a card and not a token) to be brought back."

Strong. The costs are high, but there are different possibilities to get this card to your hand or into game: put Dark Supplicant in your deck or use the cycle-ability to bring it to your graveyard and use for example Beacon of Unrest to put it on battlefield.

Cycle on the third, Zombify on the fourth. Heck, if you've got 2 swamps and 2 dark rituals in your starting hand as well, then its first turn and second. You definately will only be hard-casting him as a last resort
