You want to easily put Vilis in the GY and that gets much trickier when he begins the game in the Command Zone over starting in the library in a Mono-B deck.
This thread was made exactly a month after the card was printed and it has been doing more or less the same thing every since then, I just don't see it an also I rarely see people groan when it gets cast.
It is weird but for cards like this the longer they stay unbanned the less I want them banned because of how price fluctuates irt to Commander and cards that are largely only played in this format.
Especially in the case of Engine because it was doing this same ***** since the day it was printed, I have valiantly whenever I have built it designed the deck to go very smoothly once it resolves, mostly work.
It is also worth pointing out that the 2 cards that get things out of exile easily are in these colors and Pull from Eternity even just puts it right back in the graveyard.
Reanimate would resolve and drain you before the Demon is in play I am pretty sure.
You resolve cards in the order it reads. Thus the creature is put in play then you pay the life. I’m no rules expert but I think it works. I smell 2 mana draw 8.
Oh yeah *****
12/7/2018 You lose life after the creature is already on the battlefield. Any abilities it has that interact with loss of life, such as that of Platinum Emperion, apply to that loss of life.
I have gotten rid of my praetors over the years they are good but they feel win-more to me especially with how most of them are costed there is just so much more I would rather do for 7, 8 or 10 mana.

Both Thalia's, Gaddock, Saffi, Anafenza, Kalitas etc etc.
As for land stuff Journey To Eternity usually does work, Kaya, Ghost Assassin seems good for 3 mana, all the Oaths are Legendary too.
Also Fastbond is way banned in this format.
Oh yeah *****
LOL + Sylvan Library
Gimme that hexproof on lotus land.
