Survival of the fittest, Vannifar, Birthing Pod, Eldrich Evolution, Fiend Artisan, Evolutionary Leap, Fauna Shaman which I feel is all a lot stronger than this for the creature graveyard decks. (Eldrich/ Evolutionary leap are less good, but they're playable if you really want to push in that direction)
I feel with MH2, the general curve of the curve is trending downwards with pitch creatures, efficient 2-3 drops and efficient spells that Treasure Cruise isn't really a "build around" anymore, but more of a just add this to any deck playing islands.
I probably wouldn't play this in reanimator. Assuming I have 7 reanimation targets, I would still only have a 55% chance of hitting a creature. I would prefer a discard outlet over this.
Good points! It probably does not hit exactly what you need if your goal is to turbo a fatty out of the ‘yard. The thought is that you would play this in a deck where there are several GY synergies and incidentally some amount of value is generated through a variety of hits. I’m thinking of GB decks where you might play black recursive creatures, a mini reanimator package, maybe some of the lands in GY matter stuff, etc. But it might not be impactful or consistent enough, as you said.
We’re planning to add a LOT of graveyard synergies with the MH2 update, including Life from the Loam, new black reanimator toys, DRS, and another delve card. This guy popped into my mind as potentially good in these GB and UG graveyard-heavy strategies.
