This card is pure tempo. On fifth turn,
you get a free whack at them with one of their
own dead creatures, then a 3/2 flier picks up
where it left off. Three power flying can
be hard to stop, just like Shriekmaw's 3/2 fear
body gets through frequently. And
depending on what you've gotten into your
opponent's graveyard, this can be a surprise
shot for 4 or more damage that your opponent
wasn't prepared to block.

Goryo's Vengeance reprint? For your opponent's
graveyard only, but any creature? With a 3/2
flier of your own attached? And the flier has
persist? Sign me up. If U/B Mannequin makes a
comeback in Standard, chances are it will owe a
lot to this card. And it's even good in limited.
