Hole filling, I noticed that the Raise Dead slot hasn't been used yet. I'm not sure this qualifies for that slot, but I'm going to run with it.

I've been trying to find a way to slip this mechanic in the set, but wasn't sure how. I've got a bunch of cards in set that put things on the bottom of the library... that's going to lead to a sub-set of players who will want to 'cheat' by taking cards from the bottom of their library. I can think that's unfair, and make them unhappy, or I can give them what they want.

It's not like this mechanic hurts anyone... I just wasn't sure how to flavor it. But this seems good... it plays with black's tradition of tutoring, and dredging things up from where they aren't supposed to be taken. Most importantly, though, it isn't an abusive engine. That's the main thing I want to avoid.

Curious! And reasonable; it's always a cantrip, and can be rather better as a response to something being bottomdecked.
