Name
B
Creature -- Skeleton
1/1
When ~this~ is put into a graveyard, you may search your library for a copy of ~this~ and put it in your graveyard.

I really like this sort of creature, if you can't tell. For decks that want creatures in the graveyard, this guy would be awesome. I can see this having some kind of really cool flavor text.

Intriguing idea.
Flavour text: "United we fall".

Isn't this more of a Zombie type of effect?

Well, these could all be animated parts of some greater skeleton. That would tie in with the suggested flavor text.

Don't most cards like this, these days anyway, find 4 copies? What'd be the harm in finding 4 copies for the graveyard?

Well, since it doesn't say "graveyard from play" they'll chain along. So if you drafted like six of these and it said "four copies" you couldn't...get them all in, I guess.

Oh, I see.
If you want them to chain like that, say "When ~this~ is put into a graveyard from anywhere". (a card's abilities only work from play unless they explicitly refer to the card being somewhere else.)

They could be called "Bone Buddies" or "Friends to the End". Smile

Ok, how about "Zombie Chain Gang"?

A fine twist on the sadly underused Welkin Hawk mechanic. I give this a thumbs up.

Call it Skeleton Crew. It seems to fit the flavor.

Very nice card, by the way. Necratog tech! It also makes Barrow Ghoul and Circling Vultures better ;-)

I can see myself pitching this to a Hidden Horror and feeding the skeletons to Ichorid (or possibly Balduvian Dead...) already. The Ichorid trick is actually quite decent. Clock it!

P.S. <3 the topic title!

I vote Skeleton Crew as well.

Also, mebby this could not only activate when it is sent to the graveyard from anywhere, but it sends all copies too.  Make the effect not optional!

Shouldn't it look for a 'card named Skeleton Crew' though?

I really really think that you should be able to send all copies of Skeleton Crew to the graveyard, not just one.

I really really think you aren't. It's an easy mistake to make. Call the clock anew, Matt! This looks really (really) good right now.
