This card is quite good and essentially makes so it so you can't run out of gas late game. It's kind of funny, but for 3CMC this cards provides unreal inevitability.
White/Black just became truly fearsome. I want 10 of these.
I know people have pointed this out, but I wonder if this card gives Cartel Aristocrat another shot in standard? Either you make an opponent lose 5 life (2 damage from aristocrat and 3 from keeping the sacked creature in the grave) or lose 2 and get the sacked creature back seems pretty nice.
Bloody hell, I was not seeing this coming at all. Xathrid Necromancer and Cartel Aristocrat are best buddies with this and hard, and makes Verdict just a pain to cast against it. Value town. I'm guessing he may push the archetype into the fore front.
I like it but do you think that the opponent will care, that the creature he/she just killed will return to the hand of his/her opponent? I mean 3 life is a lot so why not just let them?
Holy crap.

Triggered abilities use one of these words: "When", "Whenever" or "At".
This is a triggered ability which will not trigger unless the creature actually made it into the graveyard. Rest in Peace will completely shut it off.
