A golgari defector to the gruul clans, pumping cards in hand and the graveyard helps bloodrush and scavenge. Except bloodrush is an ability word that spells out the P/T increase, not a keyword that says "equal to the P/T of this card", so it doesn't work :(
Yeah, I assume they must have thought of it and decided it didn't work (I can see there may be problems with Rubblehulk and other creatures with non-obvious P/T or keywords), but I don't see why not.

Oh yes, I was expecting a graveyard pumper for Scavenge :) good job!
Though pumping things in graveyards is more likely to be the domain of black, I would expect.
Aww, that's indeed a real pity that it doesn't work with Bloodrush. It should have been templated so that it could. Nice thought.

If this didn't say "you control" (which really means "you own"), it would make a nice hoser to the Reveillark/Karmic Guide loop.
