Priest of Fell Rites WB
Creature - Human Warlock
2/2 T, Pay 3 life, Sacrifice Priest of Fell Rites: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery.
Unearth 3WB(3WB: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)
So now Gifts Ungiven decks can go with this guy as an uncounterable, painful, more expensive Unburial Rites that can still block for cheap. Got it.
Aggro enough Hulk Footsteps players might want this guy to help with any backup plans.
Actually, assuming your opponent has no removal, Turn 1 sac outlet, Turn 2 Priest of Fell Rites, Turn 3 Unmarked Grave gives you the Protean Hulk combo, and if you Unmarked Grave the Priest, get it killed, or you discard it down due to hand size, you now have access to an uncounterable reanimation "spell". Oh shoot, all you need to do is resolve a sac outlet and now Hulk Footsteps no longer needs to cast anything else to go off!
Of course, you can always set your sights on bigger fry to reanimate with Priest instead...but it's vulnerable as heck to removal if you want the reanimation done quick.
As a "cleric" this could have been incredible strong in its tribe (as theres a bunch of sacrifice and reanimation theme in white/black clerics already and the tribe is looking for playable cards, so this is double disappointing in the tribe aspect).
As a card, you probably reanimate a game winning bomb and if that doesnt win and is not exiled, you get a 2nd shot.

Gets a lot better with haste (Lightning greaves debut in modern?)
