Lord of Tresserhorn.
Goryo's Vengeance.
Psychotic Fury.
Yeah, sure you could just hit something like Emrakul that'll kill in one turn anyways without the huge drawbacks of Tressorhorn and without needing the third card... But where'd be the fun in that?

This card has multiple nice advantages:
1) Splice on Arcane, so you can make use of it multiple times (splice always works nicely with Shoals)
2) the fact that it's an instant.
2a) Reanimator spells normally are all sorcery-speed. This one can be played in response to triggers that would make you shuffle the card into your library when they're put into a graveyard.
Which means: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can kick some serious ass with this card.
2b) You cast this on your opponent's turn for a nice surprise.
3) it can be useful in EDH/Commander. As Gelzo said though, be careful with counterspells.
Other good choices besides Emrakul include:
(within the block:)
- Kokusho, the Evening Star (5/5 flyer and a huge drain effect upon death)
- Iname as One (generally far worse choice from the block, 8/8 without evasion and his cip won't work. But his death returns a spirit ... (see all)

it's an instant, right? so perhaps i used compulsive research or thirst for knowledge to put it into my graveyard, or maybe archive trap myself.
i could then use this to revive emrakul with her graveyard trigger on the stack, right?
one swing should be enough.

Black doesn't have that many legends that are incredibly strong and can make a difference in one turn. I mean, I'd choose Kuro, Pitlord, but other than that...
RATING: 2.5/5

I don't think it'll work in EDH, because your Commander is in the Command Zone, not the graveyard. I've never played EDH before, so I might be wrong, but that's how it looks to me.

Why does this card have a Splice cost? It's not like you're going to be Splicing it onto Through the Breach on turn 6 when you reanimate Griselbrand with this and then Splice Through the Breach to plop Emrakul, the Aeons Torn onto the battlefield. (Or on turn 7 when you then use Sundial of the Infinite to keep them both).
