Does {grafdigger's cage} prevent undying?

So, is there any reason to not have that stupid cage in a deck than? It pretty much stops everything but aggro... Kind of sucks...

you don't want to have an useless card in deck, neither stop YOUR deck (:

2 of my main decks are aggro, so it won't even effect them :-D but it stops so much, almost makes me have to sideboard a full set of removal or a way to change out decks to be less dependent on searching for cards... Sigh

I see the cage showing up in a lot of sideboards.

Yea it's a good side board card, but as long as lands can still enter the battlefield from a deck, wolf ramp is still gonna do well, as well as delver-blade, and RDW, so we still have to wait for a while before those decks cycle out. It's good in limited.

It breaks pod and solar flare decks though.

Oops!  I missed the "creature card" condition. I thought it stopped ALL cards from your library.

Now that would be insane! The fact that it's a first turn drop makes it viable as main board in legacy, poor reanimaters.
