Nod to Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor and Balthor the Defiled. Possible that I'm overdoing the nods, but they all feel like they fit in well with the rest of the set.
I think a return to Dominaria is certainly well suited for having lots of nods to previous Dominarian cards. The big question is whether you can avoid the problems that Time Spiral had.
It's definitely a bit of a concern, but Time Spiral backed itself into a corner when the team decided that every card had to be a reference to a past card. That's a big restriction, I don't intend to go so far myself.
Man that is a huge ability. Return my whole graveyard to the battlefield (and some of yours) for just 4 mana? Living death is more strictly symmetrical, and i know it wipes the board, but it still costs 5.
eh, it was fine on balthor the defiled
