Just a quick question, how would Thraben Heretic fare in standard? Would it be a card that would do well against the zombie and reanimator match up. Or is no one using it because it is worse than Purify the Grave or Rest in Peace ?

I did not know that card existed....

It would be nice to have a body, but it doesn;t have the same effect as Rest in Peace I think its also a bit slow, but in a eck that doesn;t want to exile its own yard and isnt playing black its ok. Pretty much if you want to play a deck that does not care about the graveyard, then you want to be playing rest in peace. And if you play white and your deck deals with the yard, you probably are playing black too and Cremate is the card for you.
