So.... 2x Burning Vengeance + 2x Gravecrawler + Flayer of the Hatebound? Nice deck!

Doesn't work that way. Gravecrawler is cast from the graveyard, which means it enters the battlefield from the stack.

It actually seems more fun than what you might make it seem. Heartmender  wasn't a "win more" card, but this one does promote a quick clock!

Sounds to me like his wife gave him A Whack On The Side Of The Head!  Seriously, I think the contrast between Persist and Undying should be taught in design classes. It's so elegant and obvious-once-you-see-it.

Why, it's almost as if Wizards finally figured out why Rebels were so much better than Mercenaries!

It's like warstorm surge, only grave-ier! And it's in a intro pack! Nice.

Imagin having them both in play ...  . And I love the fact that this guy is a lil expensive to cast + in a intropack, means I should have no trouble getting a playset of him. I wuv devils!! Too bad most of them suck and the good ones never seem to synergies with each other.

Depends, if Kitchen Finks  was a 4 mana creature with undying instead, it wouldn't see the play it sees now. The good thing about (partial) downsides is that you can cost aggressively.
