If this were a creature it would be better than Gravedigger in four different ways. It's not a creature, but it's got a very low Crew cost and it helps find its own pilot....

It would be neat if we lived in a world without Sunfall so a creative wrath effect like this had some room to breathe.
I definitely understand feeling like the spoiler posts are too much, I wasn't always subscribed myself, but like... this is what you signed up for, if you do subscribe to /c/spoilers.
Saw someone playing a Merfolk deck in ranked a few weeks ago. Deeproot Pilgrimage has a lot of potential. Seems like it could be a real deck with a little help. Is this that help?
There are some Esper enchantment decks that are running Tithing Blade and recurring it with stuff like Nurturing Pixie. This card is probably an upgrade over Blade because it also procs Optimistic Scavenger.
Interesting to note that it doesn't care who owns the cards in exile.
I wonder if you could justify maindecking Rest in Peace with this guy.
I don't know what deck wants this but it does so many things for such a low cost that I feel like we're bound to see it show up somewhere. Maybe in that Selesnya tokens deck that's been popular recently?
So compared to Hangarback Walker:
- Adding a counter costs 4× as much but doesn't require tapping.
- When it dies you draw cards instead of making Thopters.
It's not a direct replacement but I think this has the potential to be a stronger card overall, especially in a deck that can make a lot of mana. I don't know if there are any existing Standard decks that want this, unless maybe Domain Control or other Overlord of the Hamhocks decks could use it as a mana dump. But there are some fringe Selesnya decks with stuff like Ozolith and Innkeeper's Talent and Dusk Legion Duelist that might get a boost from this.
I don't play Pioneer but I agree, being able to get itself into the graveyard has got to be a big deal. I have to think the designers knew what they were doing.
Missed opportunity to make a cycle of Cycles, each with cycling.
Love the pun but I think the mana cost and/or crew cost would have to be lower for this to see constructed play.
Not a direct analogue for Ephara's Dispersal but sort of competing in the same space. I have a deck where I'm sideboarding Dispersal against aggro and it's kind of medium; might give this an audition.
