Does {Grafdigger's cage} affect cards like {Animate dead} and {Exhume} (I think this one yes)

"Creatures can't enter the battlefield from the graveyards or libraries."

Yep, rip up your copies of {Exhume}, it's garbage now.  (Seriously don't!  Put them in an envelop and mail them to me for "recycling".   ;D)

Boo I hope my friends don't see this card cause I can kiss my graveborn modified deck goodbye ... Unless I put some {Disenchant} or similar cards I would have to rework it again I just finished making it perfect darn you card :(

The Cage is an absolute hoser for so many decks out there.  That's why I love it when it's on my side of the table, but hate it when it's on their side.

That had to do something with the reaccurance if flashback and now undying too.

What's the problem it's easy to destroy just you'd an naturalize or something like that I have no problem get rid of them

...to keep Pod deck in check, to give answers against Legacy/Vintage Reanimator decks, if they are expecting players to be able to cast spells right from the library... (???)

Good point BJ, they kinda threw that last part about casting from libraries in there outa nowhere.  I know there are cards and combos to do that but not that much to deserve a wooden stake to stop it.

I think it's a hint of things to come. Like {Tarmgoyf} did with PWs.

That or they fear {Future Sight} decks. Probably, they just like symmetry.

I was gonna say that same thing.  We will see when LR comes out if is a hint of things to come.

there are some reveals from top of library like the future sight also (at least one called {garruk's horde}), and also a green card that you can cast from library when you search in your library

{Green Sun's Zenith}? Or does that do something different?
