A Grave Concern: Commentary I’m so sorry this is so late, I’ve had NO time. Simian Spirit by @antmations While I like the homage to Simian Spirit Guide, having a card with Escape that Exiles itself kinda defeats the purpose of escape. Forgotten Trove by @fluffysheeplion While I love massive blue X spells with flashback, sticking delve on it takes this from “Powerful” to “Busted” Cadaverous Gasses by @i-am-the-one-who-wololoes I love the idea of having to crack a fetch to get these into your graveyard, but I worry that being able to dump 4 burn spells with flashback into your graveyard on turn 1 is a little strong. Rave Revanant by @hypexion This card would be a perfect common or uncommon in a standard set. Well designed. Investigative Necromancy by @fractured-infinity This is a really cool design let down by a fatal flaw: Hybrid Mana. If this was mono black, it would have worked fine. Hybrid Mana costs make things easier to cast, and represent both colours being able to do the same thing. Blue doesnt pay life to draw cards. Sucumb//Evil by @gollumni This card is so overpowered I can’t believe it. Languish on its own is a powerful card, but you’ve stapled a card that can both tutor and then play for free, any Bolas Planeswalker onto it. For 5 mana.  Reila, Undead Assassin by @dabudder This is a really, really cool idea let down by a single rules problem: This creature would only ever be a 1/1 thanks to how changing zones effects permanents. If you changed it to exile them with a certain counter or just counted the number of exiled cards full stop, then it would work. Mask of the Returned by @mardu-lesbian This homage to theros as a psudo-animate dead is a fantastic design that unfortunately just fell short. Time’s Passage by @juggernuat-is-a-metalhead Solid, simple design. Try for something a bit more complex next time.

Haakon, Stormgald Scourge by Mark Zug

You know what’s really cool? Being able to cast cards from your graveyard. You know what’s really interesting? ONLY Being able to cast a card from the graveyard. Whether it’s our leading man Haakon here, the plethora of aftermath cards that Amonkhet gave us, or the recently released Titans from Theros, cards that can only be played from the graveyard have an added layer of puzzle solving to them. How do you get them to the grave? Do they put themselves there, like the Aftermath Splits or the Titans? Or do you need to trick it in there, like Haakon? That’s your goal this week.

Design a card that can only be cast from your graveyard.

You are allowed to use the Aftermath Design if you wish

You are allowed to use the Titan Design if you Wish

The main goal here is a card that can only be cast from your graveyard. Whether you give it a way to put itself there or make the player figure it out it up to you.
