Legendary Creature - Human Cleric
2/2
Flying
Other creatures you control get +1/+1
At the beginning of your upkeep return target creature from your graveyard to your hand.
Is this guy worth testing? He upgrades your board on cast, and retrieves creatures each turn, basically drawing a card. Is he too fragile?
Not bad, but not great, especially for a multicolored 5-drop. Very reminiscent of Meren of Clan Nel Toth, but EOYT trigger is much better than beginning of your upkeep. Most of white's 5-drops are just better than this, not even sure if I'd play this as a mono black card.
Nice for larger cubes, especially since it has synergy with Reveilark / Alesha / Recruiters, but Orzhov's topshelf cards run very deep.
I'm not sure this would make my top 10 Orzhov cards, so I can't imagine having a cube big enough to run this. However, I'm looking forward to rocking it in my Karador, Ghost Chieftain EDH deck.
It's a cool engine card for the Alesha/'Lark/Recruiter shells, but ultimately I think it costs 1 too much for those kinds of decks. And the top end for Orzhov doesn't make for easy cuts there.

As a fellow Karador player, I'm not too interested in this card, but that's probably because I run the infinite combo version. I also like Meren of Clan Nel Toth more, but I can see playing one / both in more fair versions of the deck.
There are better ways to recur shriekmaw, and better ways to pump your team, and putting them both together on a 5 mana gold 2/2 creature doesn't excite me.
There are literally 0 cards from this commander set I am interested in testing. At least it will save me money.

Mine is a creature-themed deck, meaning that aside from lands, every card in it is a creature.

Agree with your thoughts about Ravos. He's weak. BUT I am definitely interested in testing the rampy hedron dude. Other than that this set feels pretty underpowered.
