can't wait for someone to live the gravesnatcher dream

With someone chaining one of these into another, you mean?

...Wow, hang on, this is strictly better than Gravedigger in two ways? When Gravedigger turned out to be too much card advantage for common and got moved up to uncommon? This is Deadwood Treefolk levels of card advantage, while being even easier to sacrifice, without even giving up card parity. Yow.

I think this is probably rather too complex and recursive for common, in a normal set. If you're ignoring Wizards' guidelines for common - which is fine, many people do, especially for sets targeted at their friends - then I think this is still too much better than Gravedigger and should probably become a 1/1.

agreed, but a 4 CMC 1/1 is so little fun

i want to see how this goes in playtesting before making any decisions

tweaked it to only recur cephalids, let's see if that's good enough to make it fit in the normal range

beginning to see sense on this one lol

much more reasonable now

Worth noting, this guy can recur himself to hand.

wasn't sure how that worked, thanks for clarifying. fixed it now

simplified this guy quite a bit. removed process, bumped from 2/2 to 3/2 to fit the 3/2 ETB common cycle, added loss of life to ability to make it fairer.

+1 toughness, +1 CMC, - life loss = returned creature CMC

that cycle can stay strong in , but isn't needed in . need a new 4-drop now that Famished Crocodile is cheaper

-1 toughness

Really shouldn't have done that
