Hi Footbottom Feast. I of course needed to play 4 more of you...

I was actually sorta okay with Bone Harvest, although the insta-draw (vs. slowtrip) will definitely help with timing.

use in the late game of a draft match to return all of your undying creatures to the top. If done at the right time your creatures will overrun your opponents defenses in no time.

Can find play vs Grafdigger's Cage for getting around the pesky cast from gravyard problems

This kind of card is useful when you can pack your graveyard easily.

Pairing it with Memory Sluice/Tome Scour/Glimpse the Unthinkable

@DarthParallax -- Grafdigger's Cage will indeed stop reanimation. "Creature cards can't enter the battlefield from graveyards" stops all reanimation effects cold. Interestingly, it doesn't stop the Dredge mechanic in Modern/Legacy/Vintage, but it does stop Dredge from doing anything useful. I imagine a lot of Dredge decks will be packing four Chain of Vapor in the sideboard from here on out, to bounce the Cage with.

This is a great 2 of and/or sideboard card in a mono-black aggro deck. It plays around mass removal and ensures that you'll have consistent threats lategame by stacking your deck. You can even just play into Mana Leak a couple of times to clear their hand before purging back your non-Gravecrawler beaters. I'm building this deck hardcore.

This is an important part of a deck I'm building with Heartless Summoning and Perilous Myr, Pierce Strider, and Blistergrub. Even if I have a stunning array of 0, 1, or 2 drops (via Heartless) go to the graveyard after they've fulfilled their duty, I can pile them back on for more fun. Plus, having a Altar's Reap in hand after this move makes me draw through my piles of life suck/damage missiles quicker, and triggering Undead action in my Geralf's Messenger.

Sideboard at best, but if it works, it will be a key sideboard card for grave decks everywhere.

I think that Grafdigger's Cage is probably not going to stop the real threats from Innistrad block though. I'm mostly worried about actual straight-reanimating, and the Cage doesn't say anything about returning stuff from your graveyard to the battlefield...

Edit: Misread the Cage. oops. damn that's a good hate card. I think there are probably still some holes in it, but not very many.

I got a foil one of these. It's really pretty, the zombies' eyes subtly glow. Quite nice to look at.
