So this can be fetched with GSZ while being in the library? At least in Paper, because there's no way in hell this is going to work as intended on MTGO.
And you can reanimate it. Recurring Nightmare?
Anyway what a strange card.
What happens if you play animate dead?
“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
Volrath's Stronghold after milling it with Loam? You can also cast it with Cavern set to Insect. Does it count as two card types for Goyf while being in the GY?
This card is a rules clusterfuck.
Presumably the same thing that happens when you play Animate Dead on a creature with protection from black, such as Akroma, Angel of Wrath.
Oracle text:
Ruling:Enchantment — Aura
Enchant creature card in a graveyard
When Animate Dead enters the battlefield, if it’s on the battlefield, it loses “enchant creature card in a graveyard” and gains “enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Animate Dead.” Return enchanted creature card to the battlefield under your control and attach Animate Dead to it. When Animate Dead leaves the battlefield, that creature’s controller sacrifices it.
Enchanted creature gets -1/-0.
If the creature put onto the battlefield has protection from black—or if the creature can’t legally be enchanted by Animate Dead for another reason—Animate Dead won’t be able to attach to it. It will be put into the graveyard as a state-based action, causing its delayed triggered ability to trigger. When the trigger resolves, if the creature’s still on the battlefield, its controller will sacrifice it.

Okay, actually that raises a question in my mind, and perhaps this is what HdH_Cthulhu was asking about (in which case I missed their point): What happens with the clause "When Animate Dead leaves the battlefield, that creature’s controller sacrifices it" if the creature isn't a creature?
What an odd card.
Edit: Let's say your opponent targets one of your permanents with Abrupt Decay. You kiss it. They have no permanents to AD. What happens now? Would both the original and the copy fizzle since neither you nor your opponent have legal targets?
Here's the blue Evoke creature. Interestingly enough, it can get around the "can't get countered" clause. So the arms race continues.
Unearth, Fiend Artisan, Volrath's Stronghold. Pretty interesting design. In my testing, Grist acts kind of like a bitterblossom effect, but one that can sometimes kill a creature or planeswalker, and rarely but possibly can dome your opp with a drain effect. The fact that you can easily recur Grist with all kinds of effects and tutor for it.. is what makes this card to me pretty interesting. Not top-tier powerful like a Uro, but I can see this getting some fringe play.
New Command cycle?
This one is pretty terrible, though.Verdant Command

Choose two:
*Target player creates two tapped 1/1 green squirrel token creatures.
*Counter target loyal ability of a planeswalker.
*Exile target card from a graveyard.
*Target player gains 3 life.
green with way better token production than white again lol.
Seems pretty decent in a GW tokens list in modern; raise the alarm saw play in the past and this is way better.
Anyone else think we'll see an updated Phyrexian Plaguelord with all of these squirrel tokens going around? Wasn't Deranged Hermit/Plaguelord one of the classic combos that created The Rock archetype?

Flying 4/4
Each creature you control gains vigilance if it's white, hexproof if it's blue, lifelink if it's black, first strike if it's red, and trample if it's green.
Fetch into triome, fetch into missing dual, cast this.
is it good enought?

Got some spicy additions to modern including Zuran Orb and Goblin Bombardment. Legendary Tourach creature as well, a 2/1 for 1B with kicker BB: hymn to tourach when it enters. Honestly, Goblin Bombardment seems like a pretty decent card for a modern archetype, maybe bringing back the Young Pyromancer/Lingering Souls synergy.
