Reminds me of Rally the Ancestors.

I did something similar with Ill-Tongued Host, but since I don't think there is much precedent for "graveyard flickering" I wager it's harder than normal to comment on these designs. Hmm, I now notice that my card has an unnecessary "you" in there.

I was trying to do double-duty with this card, reusing ETB effects and getting stuff into exile for an "exile matters" scenario. But yeah, Rally the Ancestors probably wanted you to block with your graveyard and get those etb abilities a second time, which does more on its own than this would.

I's also a way of emptying an opponents creatures out of their graveyard; denying a re-animation strategy. So the card's interesting, it fits al ot of little different holes. Just not sure what set would actually implement it.

Probably needs the words "...under your control" just for clarity's sake. Kind of odd drawing two cards off your opponent's Mulldrifter, but also kind of neat.

Huh; I'd assumed they would flash to the opponent as appropriate. Could go either way, I guess.

Maybe let you choose, so that you can do nasty temporary gifting of creatures that have downsides?
