My Karador Commander deck just got another card to play with.

Interested to see what this might do in standard.

i think the white mana in the flashback cost was a deliciously clever way to nerf this card

do i really want to splash white in my graveyard deck?

maybe. We'll see

@ greg2367

This can also only hit your grave, which is kind of lame. I liked taking something from an opponent's graveyard.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's 5 mana, which isn't significantly cheaper than anything else you could just hard cast (in Standard). Its cheaper flashback cost isn't in a color that's good at milling (Black or Blue). And it's restricted to your graveyard. I'd rather have Rise from the Grave, just for less restrictions (and ideally something more like Animate Dead or Reanimate, for getting those threats out quickly).

If Yawgmoth's Will is a machine gun, this is a double-barreled sniper rifle.

They each have the ability to outshine the other if you've dedicated your deck to making it happen. I would be quite interested a Duel Decks where these two Black Grave-hackers face off.

Of course Yawgmoth's Will has a LOT going for it, but this does a few things that card doesn't- notably it can be used in mono-white decks, as Lingering Souls can be used in mono-black decks. Off-color Flashback is better than normal Flashback, regardless of converted Flashback costs, as it turns the card into a hybrid colored card.

Also worth noting (please correct me if I'm wrong)- Flashback can be used at Instant speed, yes? And is only slightly easier to predict than cycling cards out of hand when the graveyard is thick.

I think, for sheer insane POTENTIAL, Dread Return is the most bang for your buck. Maximizing it forces you into almost a single decklist, but then, that dec... (see all)

Good card, but kind of useless in a mono-black deck.

@greenzero: good idea, except for the "or Storm Crow. There is no another option than storm crow. Remember, 4 storm crow is a 5 turn clock.
