Powerful in draft, playable in standard?
Discuss.
It's a mini Sun Titan ...
But it can easily trigger multiple time per turn.
I might actually like this more... If I can fin the right cards to bring back.

hmmmm.... this guy can recur a Pacifism onto a Monstrous Fleecemane Lion .

doh... it's "creature card"... never mind.
He's merely Okay.

I suppose he works well with Ephara, God of the Polis ... turn any targeting spell into a creature and a card draw.
Bring back Deputy of Acquittals in response to a removal spell to save a creature?
I'm reaching here... I'm sure he can be made okay... probably works in U/W heroic to recur the weenies you'll be using... but there just aren't a lot of 2 drop creatures that have decent (decent meaning worth making this work) ETB effects in Standard right now.
Will be powerful in EDH, and is a card to keep an eye for future Standard play...
Heck... I could even see putting it in a Bant Infect deck to keep getting back the Infect creatures your opponent keeps killing... lots of targeting spells for the heroic triggers, thus never running out of creatures.

I really like the looks of this card. Probably won't see play, but it looks like it has a bunch of potential.

It has possible potential with in a Battlefield Thaumaturge deck most of the cards that seem to work in that deck cost two or less including the Thaumaturge himself and tons of heroic triggers. I think I'm going to put 2 in the one I'm building.

@beakedbard can't tell by your post so I just wanted to point it out in case you didn't notice. It only returns creatures with CMC 2 or less

Yes I'm aware of that sorry if my post was confusing i know it only works with creatures of 2 cmc and less i just meant heroic triggers to keep him on a cycle of bringing creatures back.

Oh my, that thing will be ridiculous in draft. Especially in the RW or UW Heroic decks. First pick, all the time. Unless you actually pull a good rare of course. As far as standard goes, I can't think of many 2 CMC creatures that have enough of an impact to be worth this and some heroic triggers. Although this, Athreos, God of Passage and High Priest of Penance at the core of a deck could be a major pain.
