Venom Troll 3GG (number crunch has this between I and L, so there should be another translation for the name)
Creature - Troll (Uncommon) 3G: Roll a d20. Activate only if Venom Troll is in your graveyard. 1-9 | Put Venom Troll on top of your library. 10-19 | Return Venom Troll into your hand. 20 | Put Venom Troll onto the battlefield tapped.
6/2
While the UR draft archetype means most dice rolling cards are in blue and red, it doesn't mean the other colors don't have dice rolling too. Here are a bunch of dice rolling mana sinks.
Why do they seem to be costed as if 20 is the only possible outcome?
At uncommon, 4 mana "return this card to hand from the graveyard" would already be extremely strong, given its high power. It's definitely not costed like it's going to come into play every time.

Just compare it to Deathless Knight, also an uncommon. Extremely strong, you say?
