See Challenge # 145. Uses:
I was taken with the parallelism between Wellspring and Tombstone and wanted to make something that used them both. But the abilities to make them are both pretty wordy. I considered a pair of two different creatures, perhaps with flavour tying them together like Stitcher Geralf and Ghoulcaller Gisa, but I thought it might be fun to try a DFC commander. And yes, if this is your commander then you can include both green and black cards in your deck.
Goes quite nicely in a Shattergang Brothers deck, although it'd be even better if Arlani triggered from enchantments. Likes things like Claws of Gix, Curse of the Cabal, Arcbound Ravager, and Reprocess.
I don't know if it's a problem how easily recursive the Tombstone ability is, if you've got something like Krark-Clan Ironworks to sacrifice the Tombstones to. The regular flipping between Inalra and Arlani actually works as a drawback: it gives your opponent one turn cycle to "safely" kill your creatures for every turn cycle when they keep coming back, so it might be okay?
