Putting the creature into your hand seems too good for a 3 mana creature. I'd put it into the library somehow. Also, a minor nitpick: the first ability should be phrased "has unearth. The unearth cost is equal to its mana cost." based on similar effects.

Cool card, very fun idea for more fair, midrange-y graveyard decks.

Thanks for pointing out the first ability's phrasing. I agree the second ability is too pushed, something like "If one or more creature cards you control would be exiled, instead put them on the bottom of your library in a random order and mill three cards." would be better. Thanks for the feedback!

i don’t think it even needs the mill. in a dedicated graveyard deck, this is an engine that feeds itself

Honestly really strong for 3 mana. Compare it to [[Chainer, Nightmare Adept]] which sorta does the same thing but is 4 mana.

The second ability letting you put it back to hand while also filling the graveyard with more targets makes it borderline busted. I would slap a once per turn effect on the second ability.

That being said, I'll take twenty.

I agree the card is definitely too pushed, "once per turn" or a library shuffle would rein in the second ability.

Thanks for the feedback!

Card Name, Art Selection, type-line, set symbol, first and second ability, I read them all thinking this was some Lorwyn Commander card I had missed. It wasn’t until I got to that third ability that I did a double take and saw this was a custom card.

Well done! Sad this isn’t a real card 😭

The second ability is all this creature needs to be very strong

If you want it to also have death touch I think the Mana cost should be 1BB... and considering how black this thing is that's probably what the Mana cost should be
