Boneyard Scourge
Considering how expensive dragons tend to be on
average, you will no doubt be hoping that as few
of them die as possible when you're playing your
dragon tribal deck. Fortunately, Boneyard
Scourge is a decent consolation and provides a
pretty nasty dilemma for the opponent. They may
feel confident of removing a given dragon from
play (Doom Blade Guy is no longer on Twitter,
but many of us carry a piece of him within us,
to our eternal cost), but not everyone comes
prepared to deal with a 4/3 flyer that never
dies. The only wrinkle is that in EDH and other
multiplayer formats, more opponents means a
higher chance that somebody did come prepared.
But since you can't quantify that chance, you
may as well play him anyway - returning from the
graveyard for such a low cost is definitely a
tempting ability.

Boneyard Scourge (8/29)
The obvious use of Boneyard
Scourge is as part of a loop with two of them
in, say, Legacy. One dying lets you pay 1B to
get the other back, a loop which gets bigger and
bigger with more copies. And even if you have to
cast the cute little dragons, a 4/3 with
flying for 2BB is a fair price to pay. It's not
spectacular in and of itself, but it does offer
a lot of potential synergy, a returning creature
and an incentive to not worry about your Dragons
dying.
