It can be a viable creature in your green decks with little regard for is activated ability
For mid-value cards (under $1,000), using the completed listings on eBay as a price guide is reasonable
While a double Raise Dead is far from the most exciting card Ive ever seen, its both mana efficient and flexible, two key points when it comes to sideboard cards
The deck is reliant on specific cards so I'm running a much higher than average amount of tutors: Trinket Mage to find our busted mana rocks, Tribute Mage to find Throne of Geth simply the best card in the 99, Solve the Equation and Mystical Teachings to find our poison cards, and Ringsight to find any black/blue card with Venser out, plus gives him skulk to get around blockers
It can save a utility creature from basically all removal (even board wipes), and also enables two-card combos with targets like Devoted Druid
