About Corpse Connoisseur
Corpse Connoisseur, Creature — zombie wizard, designed by Mark Hyzer first released in Oct, 2008 in the set Shards of Alara and was printed exactly in 6 different ways.
This Corpse Connoisseur card would be beneficial in a graveyard-focused deck that aims to utilize creatures in the graveyard for various effects. While it offers the ability to search for a creature card and put it into the graveyard upon entering the battlefield, its Unearth ability provides a way to bring it back for additional value. However, in terms of efficiency and power level, there are potentially better cards like Entomb or Buried Alive that can directly put specific creatures into the graveyard without the need for additional mana investment, making them more versatile and impactful in such decks. Whether Corpse Connoisseur sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, but it may not be a top-tier choice compared to other graveyard-focused cards available.
Rules
10/01/08
At the beginning of the end step, a creature returned to the battlefield with unearth is exiled. This is a delayed triggered ability, and it can be countered by effects such as Stifle or Voidslime that counter triggered abilities. If the ability is countered, the creature will stay on the battlefield and the delayed trigger won’t trigger again. However, the replacement effect will still exile the creature when it eventually leaves the battlefield.
10/01/08
If a creature returned to the battlefield with unearth would leave the battlefield for any reason, it’s exiled instead — unless the spell or ability that’s causing the creature to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it! In that case, it succeeds at exiling it. If it later returns the creature card to the battlefield (as Oblivion Ring or Flickerwisp might, for example), the creature card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effect will no longer apply to it.
10/01/08
If you activate a card’s unearth ability but that card is removed from your graveyard before the ability resolves, that unearth ability will resolve and do nothing.
