Mortuary Thrull (Common) 1WB
Creature – Thrull
2/3
Martyr (When this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may sacrifice it.)
When Mortuary Thrull dies, you may exile target card from a graveyard. If a creature card is exiled this way, you gain life equal to its toughness.
Can Mortuary Thrull exile itself?
Skeletal Servant (Common3) (W/B)
Creature – Skeleton Minion
1/1
Martyr (When this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may sacrifice it.)
When Skeletal Servant dies, you may pay (W/B). If you do, return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
Can Skeletal Servant return itself?
When Aphetto Vulture dies, you may put target Zombie card from your graveyard on top of your library.
10/4/2004: The ability can be used to return itself to the top of your library if it is still in your graveyard when the ability resolves.
Most abilities like Dutiful Attendant say "another target ..." in order to limit repetition. I think for the sake of reducing play errors you would want the cards with martyr that can target cards in the graveyard to either all be able to target themselves or none be able to target themselves.
Skeletal Servant might be okay. Returning itself to hand is sort of a variation on regeneration... Although combined with martyr it can also be a bad vigilance if it is not blocked.
