For example, challenges to a character with Resist+2 are reduced by two points before damage is assigned - this makes them beefy challengers in their own right or valuable questers who can withstand blows from your opponents before being banished
So go fill your graveyards with Surveil, bring stuff back from those graveyards, and go to town
You can play the entire Dark Depths combo from your graveyard each turn, play two fetch lands (or the same fetch twice) for four total landfall triggers, make your opponents cry with Strip Mine this card is absurdly powercrept
While I have no problem with anybody snapping up Gravecrawlers if theyre building Vengevine or they think that the card is underpriced for some other reason, people tend to underestimate the difficulty of actually getting those last few cards in a new Modern deck when more than half the value of most of these decks is tied up in just two or three crucial bottlenecks
But my intuition for creatures comes in the form of those that come back from the graveyard, like Adorned Pouncer, Boneyard Scourge, or Multani, Yavimayas Avatar
