Yeah, that caught my eye. Instant means it could be a surprise blocker - it's not just an 'attack bigger' card, it can be used on defense.
Think this one's a win in limited and commander (getting the best ETB trigger in any opponent's graveyard is likely worth it).. Likely no other constructed relevance tho.
Jesus that flavor text is AMAZING (sarcasm). This is a good card to be honest, to "flash" in a blocker or even bring something big from their GY for an alpha strike.
The full set drop is usually the eighth weekday of spoilers. When spoiler season starts on a Monday we get the full set the following Wednesday. This spoiler season started Wednesday, so I've been expecting the set drop Friday.
But also usually we're still one or two rares short of the full rare sheet until full set drop reveals the last one or two, and we've already got the full rare sheet now.
I've been waiting on a Standard reprint of Makeshift Mannequin for 12 years, and this might be as close as we get. I'll play it with the same enjoyment, I'm sure.
Sweet card. Really fun in a Marchesa, the Black Rose Commander deck - reanimate, attack whoever's on the throne to get a counter, punch them or their blockers for a bunch, and then when you sac it, it comes back under your control the next turn permanently.
I honestly love the flavor text. It's possibly the most Rakdos-y flavor text I've ever seen.
The card seems cool, although the variance of relying on what's in your opponent's graveyard usually kills a card in constructed. I do hope we eventually get a 4cmc unconditional reanimation spell.
Man, I am finding Rakdos's flavor so creepy. Parading dead bodies around in front of former friends and allies. Literally forcing crowds to watch their debauched shows. A lot of their cards are real flavor homeruns.

Wow, has it been 12 years already? I really miss that card, too.
btw, I think the flavour text for this card is fine. It represents the guild well.
