    The Miracle cost on this seems wildly pushed to me:

    Good point, Triumph is a 5/5 Lifelink for basically the same cost. But the reanimation effect seems kind of good. I guess we'll see.

    It would have played very well along Grief.

    In some hybrid decks, it might make a single fetchable witch's cottage playable, as well as some street wraith. But I doubt it.
    It should be kind of good with dragon rage channeler too.

    Isn't there a legendary creature with an ability that could combo if we had 2 on the battlefield?

    You could maybe try to do something with Loyal Retainers but that seems more cute than good

    Triumph sees play and has a wildly lower ceiling while not really being much higher as a floor- a 4/4 lifelinker isn't much worse than a 5/5 actually. They're both big enough to matter against most boards and out of bolt range but die to Dismember and most beefy creatures in the format.

    Someone on the reddit thread also pointed out that it actually makes Worldy Tutor pretty good in Reanimator since you can use it to tutor for both cheap reanimation effect and be an Entomb with a surveil trigger on the stack.

    This seems fairly useful.
    Having a retraceable spell with every creature type is bound to cause some shenanigans.

    People played worm harvest way back in the day. 2 cmc less makes it playable I think. Seems decent in loam pox.

    Cynical Loner seems like a powerful ability:

    Cynical Loner

    Creature — Human Survivor

    Cynical Loner can’t be blocked by Glimmers.

    Survival — At the beginning of your second main phase, if Cynical Loner is tapped, you may search your library for a card, put it into your graveyard, then shuffle.
    Though, I guess, legacy is rife with "kill me or lose" bodies. A simple thing would be to combine it with Stasis.

    This looks like the best one out of the Overlord cycle. It can do some shenanigans with Vampire Hexmage where can turn it into a creature and get the Hexmage back immediately (either via the ETB or the attack trigger, depending on the order you play those two).
