dsc's graveyard clause

I think this effectively replaces Oath's sideboard creature of Simic Sky Swallower or whatever the new hotness is.

It effectively has shroud, can easily be discarded to TfK(sadly with another card), and is unblockable.

It is legendary though so only one, but barring a wrath of god or other non-damage sweeper it is staying in play.  I wouldn't replace the main creatures of hellkite/akroma, but it will def have a place in my sideboard.

This seems pretty obvious to me, but is there any reason why this wouldn't be a better choice that I am overlooking?

Personally I really like the way Empyrial Archangel has a near-vigilant ability of redirecting damage from you to itself. So I would run the Angel over this. Although I can see being unblockable handy as well. Seems to be personal preference from here with these two. Maybe just use both?

There's already a thread about this, and we already eviscerated it there.
