Absolutely stunning.
I was convinced that we wouldn't get a Golgari FNM Promo since we already had Dreg Mangler as a promo from the Holiday Gift Box.
Glad to see I was wrong.

"Using a bad card to make another bad card less bad is bad."
Wow, as someone who really loved playing French Rites in standard, even after the rotation, I really am excited to see Grisely Salvage as a cool promo to help me bling out my deck!
I...wait...what's that you say? Unburial Rites is about to reotate out and isn't viable in Modern? Grrrrrrrrr!!!!! Am I the only one who feels these FNM promos are always about a year too late!!!

Unburial Rites sees play in 4C gifts in Modern, though it only plays one copy. Anyway, I hope Wizards was conscious of Unburial Rites rotating out when they made this decision. Maybe reanimator will still be a viable archetype after rotation?
Wow, it's almost as if people think the only use for Grisly Salvage is in Junk Rites.
Little known fact: In the Return to Ravnica block, there's this "guild" known as "Golgari"—they have lots of cards that interact with the graveyard. The shocking thing is, these cards are still going to be legal after rotation! Shocking, I know!
Wow. Just wow. That art is stunning. I'm definitely going to have to pick up a set for my SilverBlack Junk Rites deck. Super stoked that its not Golgari (aka ANOTHER) Charm.

Grisly Salvage sees play in modern Dredgevine. Good card is good.

I have an idea for a post rotation Golgari deck using Grizzly Salvage so I'm excited about this.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Scavenging Ooze has already proven to kill graveyard reliant decks. I really wouldn't expect any kind of Reanimation deck to surface in standard until it rotates out.
What's there to complain about? Unless Theros brings something better it'll be the most efficient card selection spell post-rotation. And that art. Oh my.

Because it was a key card in a deck that has been hated out (Scooze) and will lose its key card (Rites). I doubt anything in Theros will overcome the might of the Scooze.

More interested in a playset of Oct's Ghor-Clan Rampagers.

Might have to start playing standard now
Unfortunately this looks like a missed opportunity. The skeleton in Putrefy has larger pauldrons and is up against a wall. :/
