          After previewing the awesome Lord of the void which calls creatures from an opponents library . Black has another baddie that summons creatures into play from all your opponents graveyards and makes them your own. Yes , ALL of your enemies will have to give tribute to you when you plop down this creature. This is none other than the Sepulchral Primordial. I thought the other Primordials were awesome but here is a primordial made after my  very own necromantic heart.

In a 5/4 body for 5 colorless mana and 2 black mana it wont be so hard to imagine a copy of it being sneaked in at the earliest possible time in EDH decks to gain control of creatures that would be advantageous to a particular players cause. In order to play around it a player has to think of enough spot removals to fill the enemies graveyard with dead creatures or discard spells that allow them to gain control of a creature even before it is cast. Black has always been the color well known for spot removal and discard effects. Now more than ever these specialties are being more enhanced.

Imagine being able to force an opponent to discard a Sepulchral Primordial from his or her hand. After which  you decide to play your own copy of Sepulchral Primordial. The resulting effect would be nothing short of spectacular , assuming you have 5 active players mid to late in the game and you have graveyards teeming with all sort of creatures that have died due to battle damage or mass removal, And assuming that you have 2 Sepulchral Primordials dropping on the battlefield then you would have a total of 8 creatures (2 per opponent) coming back under your control , so you have bodies to block or attack with and if they have comes into play abilities like the whole line of Primordials that have been released then its going to be at least a fun night for you.(No one ever said you were playing fair right?)

There is nothing like a primordial targeting another primordial and putting that other primordials abilities to good use. Mainly as a deterrent or another form of control over the casters opponents. I might have been tired as hell when I came home but as soon as I saw this card I just had to write about it. The comborific tastiness seems endless and it is something that you could do in standard too!

    A creature so strong that it can reanimate other creatures. Its a very abusive combo just waiting to happen. In partnership with another mono black creature called Crypt Ghast you can supply enough mana for it to come back very soon or even hard cast it when the timing is right. In combination with Sheoldred , The whispering one you have a Sepulchral Primordial potentially coming back again and again during your upkeep. Assuming you can sacrifice it to a Nantuko Husk or in current standard you could use Undercity Informer , which mills your opponents library , increasing the creature pile in his or her graveyard even more. Sucking more of your opponents creatures on your side.  Returning every upkeep and siphoning off all of your opponents graveyards prevents him or her from utilizing a potential army while enhancing your own position on the battlefield. This creature is going to be so much fun to play with. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
