This was one of the first cards made in the entire format. I was picking up the themes, and quickly saw off-color flashback and a graveyard-centric Dredge-like deck as possibilities. I liked that this made sense in a vacuum (Disentomb in black, graveyard-based card advantage in black-green, and a graveyard-activated Narcomoeba-ish card for green to bring back something like Splinterfright or Tarmogoyf.

While this was one of the first cards to be mechanically defined, it was one of the last flavored cards.
