Spiteful Returned 1B
Enchantment Creature - Zombie Uncommon
Bestow 3B
Whenever Spiteful Returned or enchanted creature attacks, defending player loses 2 life.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1.
Illus. Raymond Swanland 1/1
2CMC creature that has a built in 'ping' for 2 when attacking... decent ability. Better as bestow I believe.
I could see using it bestowed onto inspired creatures, so that you are that much better off for having to attack.

Yeah, I can't see thing finding a home in constructed, but I like in in almost any black limited deck.

On its own, it's a 3/1 for 2 in black. Not terrible, but definitely not as impactful as other cards in the set.
Definitely a top 8 pick in draft though.

It's certainly not a 3/1... If I block with a 1/2, my creature lives... and I'll certainly do that every time.
The only time to view it as a 3/1 is in a true weenie aggro deck, where you can reasonably expect it to get through a few times.
If I draft it, it will be for it's bestow not the creature. If I want to deal 2 damage to an opponent directly, I'll grab a Shock or some other burn, rather than paying 2 to cast it, and having to wait a turn to attack so I can get in 2 damage, and ultimately have the creature killed.

Could be really good on unblockable creatures.

Neat card for limited.
What I care most about is that it's an Enchantment Creature with Raymond Swanland art. As such I need one in foil

Looks solid for limited.
