Heh. 7 cards in, and we've got some hellbent enabling, but no hellbent yet. I suppose it happens.
I honestly don't know how good this is. It was one of the last changes I did, because the original card was just too strong. Originally, this was a 3/2 for
that could be put into play from your graveyard by discarding a card and paying 
. Gravebane Zombie didn't seem broke, and it cost a full
less. But it turns out that a 3/2 is better than over half the cards in many drafters deck (2/5ths, of course, being uneeded lands). That, combined with the ability to flash this into play... or the threat of flashing it into play. Gah. I decided it was better to come up with a different recursive card instead.
Hee. Now it's a Llanowar Sentinel from the graveyard rather than the library. (Alternatively, a Demigod of Revenge that you have to pay for.) Very nice idea.
You know, after having designed this guy, the Llanowar Sentinal connection occured to me too. I've been wanting to make this guy a touch better, and, now that I compare him directly, it becomes a bit obvious how inferior Hazard Thrull is. I'm doing some nipping and tucking to make him more relevant. 3/1 -> 3/2 and dropping the activation to
. It always bugged me that discarding a Hazard Thrull to a Hazard Thrull didn't do much of anything. Now, the second Hazard Thrull will come at a discount.
That makes it a much nicer mirror as well.
