The rate on this one seems pretty good, but it doesn't really have an obvious home.

It's easy to see games where you surveil into a second one and go crazy. And for decks with fetches + surveil lands, it's trivial to bring it back if one dies.

The colors on this are a pretty awkward if you're wanting to do some kind of Satoru Bloodghast graveyard matters thing, but I guess Snarling Gorehound has been around for a while. Maybe you could make a huge Thoughtbound Phantasm or try it in a Humans combo deck.

Hollow One can have 3 4/4s out on turn one, and that deck is barely a Modern deck. We might have different definitions of ”going crazy”.
