A mini Reveillark. Doesn't get back as many things, and only gets one, but still can recur the Squirrel Hermits, Wall of Blossoms/Omens, and a few other goodies. The Recruiters can find this, and then this can bring back the recruiters when it dies. Reveillark can also bring it back for some nice value.
Its cute, but I don't know what decks really want it. I think 1 power is a little too low for a lot of decks to have a decent target,and the decks that do (ramp, control?) feel like they have better options.
While there are powerful 1 powered creatures this can get (Hermit Druids / Trostani), missing out on two powered creatures means it can't get any Nekrataal / Reclamation Sage variant or other army in a cans like Siege-Gang Commander / Hornet Queen. I'd probably at least test it if it hit 2 powered creatures but as is it's a hard pass.

I think at 2 power I would definitely give it a shot, and would expect it to be pretty solid.
such a cool card.. I wantttt this to be good enough but believe the 1 power vs 2 of lark is a killer. So many good 2 powered creatures in cube and not many 1 powered.
I love that the evoke is so cheap though, card screams creature combo (or combo redundency) to me.
My cube has at least 60 targets. I suspect it will be useful in BW sacrifice decks that include Blood Artist or Cruel Celebrant. I'm going to test to see just how useful it is.
If this could get back a creature with power 2 or less, it'd be a slam dunk for me. I guess they didn't want to encourage some sort of Modern deck where you draw the game by looping 2 of these with no other targets. It's a tempting include at 1 power or less, but there is a lack of good targets in my cube besides the hermits and clones.
I don't think this cuts it in Peasant cube, unfortunately. Seems like more of a narrow constructed card aimed and reanimating single, high mana cost, low power creatures.
