I dunno, i don't like when the color-pie-personality thing get so one-dimensional to a point a character needs to be a white mana user in order to have some sense of duty to something.
His Zendikar flavor texts sounded like a very mono-black character to me... It's almost like when they creatured Sorin they didn't knew he would one day become a WB and I hate when this kind of things is obvious in stories. Also add the fact that i don't see him casting many white spells across cards makes me don't like his colors either.
I wish Jace get mono U again. I don't like when character suddenly change colors (hated WB Sorin). In the other hands we have already a load of mono u Jaces... So i wish he stays true to his color but i wouldn't be surpised to see a UR Jace as it seens his a izzet boy for now (he and niv is side by side like budies in that picture...).
I hope the other pw is R or WG. R because red needs love imo. An WG pw would be nice cause theres none so far.
Still, i think we should see mostly mono colored walkers because any two color combination would feel like one guild is getting a walker and the other aren't.
I know this ability is not very graveyard friendly - if you discard cards all you get is some overcosted pumps. Unless theres some kind of scavenge version of Roar of the Wurm.
I think this ability works best with sacrifice effects. Maybe theres some card with "when you scavenge this, destroy target creature". Or something similar with ramp or dicard. Or a permanent with whenever you scavenge, draw a card. That would be sweet.
I think this keyword is actually cool flavour wise. Golgari is all about life-death cycles right ?
Creatures born (life) when you cast then, die (death) when they are removed. Then some of his friend go there and feast uppon his dead body getting the original creature's strength back, which is like living again in a different manner (life again).
Feasting uppon the dead and getting back his strength into the living world feels like a very golgarish and black-green way to make the life-death cycle rolls.
I don't think having huge graveyards alone is how the golgari's should play. Have a bunch of dead creature is like "everyone should die so i can get stronger" which doesn't sound like a death-life cycle to me (more like death end of story cycle). Golgari is about letting stuff die and then regrowing uppon the dead right ? Imo it should be all about making use of your dead cards, by consuming then.
The only thing that saddens me is that it's a creature only keyword and this could be interesting in instant and sorceries! Like:
"New Golgari Removal" 1B
Sorcery
Destroy target non-artifact creature.
2B - Scavenge 2 (Pay 2B and exile this card from your graveyard: put two +1/+1 counters on target creature).
It's going to be fun on limit. This alone doesn't make a 2 for 1 card but still it gives some value in face of removals. Also, it adds more distintion between enchantment removals (like pacisim) and typical red and black creature removal.
In constructed i dunno, i'm quite noob on constructed

I know i was just day dreaming hehehe. Maybe a creature that kills another when enters the battlefield ? Nekrataal style.
