I mean...on the face of it, past the first few turns, this is of the best combat tricks black has EVER gotten. It also doesn't take a lot of setup (or imagination) to make this thing a LOT more powerful w/other cards. I could play this in any nearly ANY black deck and it would be pretty damn good.
I pre-ordered TEN and, at $1 ea, i'm considering picking up some more.
Seems strictly worse then goryo's vengeance in the deck that even want a type of card like this. Not being able to use it on your own turn is a big draw back when you want to bring stuff like Emrakul or Griselbrand back anyway. Now when talking about legacy which is the only legal format this card could even see competitive play, it just seems way worse than all the traditional reanimate spells that already exist.
I think it's being underrated atm. It's a very low investment and it doesn't exile. You get ETBs and Death-effects - making certain creatures just that much better.
Now all of these would be considered jank in legacy but in commander they could easily make for some good times.
There's an entire horde of ETB or death-triggers to explore. Not even to dare think of Eternal Witness to continually abuse that spell over and again, turn after turn.
i have to admit i was pretty unexcited about C14 but all these sweet black instants are going to make me rebuild my toshiro umezawa deck for sure. i agree with the OP, this card is the nastiest combat trick i've seen in some time for black. surprise grey merchants and other ETB triggers are the icing on the cake that is surprise blockers.

I think it will see *serious* play in 60-card and 100-card formats.
