Not sure about the ultimate here it's a riff on Grim Feast, combos well with his other abilities.
Was originally "Exile all creatures. For each creature exiled in this way, put a creature card from any graveyard onto the battlefield under your control." which is quite {b}{g} but I felt it waqs a bit TOO similar to various black planeswalkers already out there.

The emblem could probably have both effects. It is the ultimate of a gold 'walker.

Mmm. That was my thought too. It's an interesting choice, but it shouldn't really matter. When your ultimate goes off you should either be winning the game, or struggling to survive. I don't think many players would be thankful for the options in either of those scenarios.

Otherwise, I like the card. The Melvin in me is a little sad that you don't have "Something loses 3, you gain 3" in the ultimate, though. By the time I read the ultimate, I half expected to see that, and was... well, it's a silly mind trick. I think I liked the ultimate less just because it didn't follow the pattern.
