This doesn't enable modular like it did clockwork. We could make it do a kind of grave blink: return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield. sacrifice that creature at end of turn.
Graveyard blinking is more black than white. This will still allow you to rescue a modular guy and make him bigger for when he does die, at least.
Yeah, Footsteps of the Goryo is pretty black.
How about the other way round? "Choose target creature card in your graveyard. Sacrifice a creature, then return the chosen card to the battlefield." That could be given a black flavour (like Living Death), but could also work in white (a flavour of redeeming sacrifice, giving one's life for another, that kind of thing).
It does work well with modular. The difference is that unlike the it's interactions with clockwork you'll want to cast this on your opponents creatures. It can get rid of +1/+1 after they've put all their eggs in one basket.
Hm, I hadn't noticed before this is effectively a reprint of Otherworldly Journey.
Yes it is, except this one isn't arcane, so it's a lot better from a design perspective :P
Should this say "...return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control with an additional +1/+1 counter on it."? That line seems to get used on occasion, especially when +1/+1 counters are already being used in a set.
