The return from graveyard as a cost is obviously the most interesting bit here. Perhaps that does need an upkeep restriction like in the source material, but perhaps not. It does cost 2 mana.
I think this would get really annoying. It's an infinitely usable combat trick for only two mana that your opponent can't counter.
And yet it's a lot more mana-intensive than Valor, which is the "always-on" version of the same effect. After the first time they know it's there and can plan accordingly, perhaps even tempting you to spend your mana on this rather than on developing your board position.
