For Challenge # 137. Still monkeying with alternate costs, this one ended up not a B/G land with a B/G creature attached.
I'm unsure as to whether copying creatures in your graveyard is really B/G. It seems fine to me. I'm sure Link will point out I need blue somewhere, and that no, Spitting Image is not a good defense. Still... it would be nice to see these two colors get together to do something like this on occasion.
It was blue in Planar Chaos (Body Double), but I think it could plausibly be
.
I'm not sure. I think of "copy from graveyard" as U/B because all copy effects can be blue, and "copy from graveyard" is really similar to reanimate. By that logic, it could also be W.
But G doesn't get, return from graveyard to battlefield, although it does get "put from hand OTB".
So starting from scratch, I like G having some return from graveyard effects, so this would make sense, but knowing what other effects exist, I'd prefer to leave this in U/B (where I think it's a really good fit), and find another niche for GB.
