Random Generator gave me Braingeyser and Raise Dead. Oh, look, it's Death Denied! Well, kind of. Braingeyser does have that little clause where you can "force opponent to draw X cards", so I used that to make up the difference. Now it's a sorcery, but you can return creatures from your ally's graveyard as well.

This seems kind of rare-ish, but Death Denied was common (?!). Don't know...

­Shattered Crypt was common too, it turns out. So are Morbid Plunder and Footbottom Feast. This seems right at uncommon.

"Return X target creature cards from target player's graveyard to his or her hand" would be more proper wording, I think.
I wonder what would cause you to want to return creatures to an opponent's hand? Maybe if they had a big fatty in there and they were out of ways to discard in order to reanimate it...

I'm having a hard time finding a card that clearly decides whether or not you have to target the player. The closest I can find for now is Disturbing Plot, which doesn't target the player. So I guess I'll have to go with Disturbing Plot.

This card makes a lot more sense in multiplayer... especially two-headed giant. In a normal two player game... I suppose it could get rather funny if you have a Black Vise down, or want to follow this up with a Sudden Impact. The likelihood of those two scenarios are low, but, you know, some people would like it.

It's a pity this card isn't instant speed, though. I really like the idea of watching your opponent's Zombify fail because you sent the creature back to his hand in response. Bizarro! I'm helping!
