Buried Alive

Yeah, it's crazy that some people don't see the potential in a card like this. How about turn 1 Swamp, Dark Ritual, Buried Alive, Drop 2 Vengevines and Brawn in your graveyard. turn 2 Forest, play Wild Growth on the Swamp, tap it to play Llanowar Elves and Carrion Feeder. Put Vengevines into play and attack for 8 trample. turn 3 play forest, sac Vengevines to Carrion Feeder, play Primal Forcemage and Ornithopter, bring Vengevines back into play, which are now each 7/6 trample until end of turn thanks to the Forcemages. Sac Ornithopter to Carrion Feeder and attack for a total of 18 trample. That might very well be game over right there, assuming you also got through with the 8 damage on turn 2. I don't see any way to do this without Buried Alive. A 5 star card for sure!

1. turn: Swamp - Dark Ritual - Buried Alive - Throw 3 Bloodghasts in your graveyard..

Wow some people really are nuts, i cant believe there are people that dont understand the value of this card, Great Card!! Send Buried alives to Trollandtoad so i can buy them

Wow, Zombie, what a novel idea...use it with Demigod of Revenge... I wish I'd thought of that

use this with demigod of revenge....swing with 4 5/4 flyers w/ haste

Put 3x Bloodghast into your graveyard. Then say this card sucks.

turn on dark ritual buried alive three thorn elemantals turn two shallow grave turn three oh wait there isn't a turn three

looool a card to get threshold...good one dude...oh geez he's serious... uummm zombie deck??? a card that can get all your best zombies or w/e so you can regen them/play from your graveyard?? awesome card, very awesome.

soulshift, dredge, incarnations... the possibilities with this card are endless

this card is incredibly useful, it has combinations with cards such as ressurect dread return apprentice necromancer and others! it isnt only useful for threshold and avatar of woe. very very useful card

MMMMM??!!! Demigod of kick your butt from Shadowmoor anyone? As Tyler said, this conversation is over!

This is partially for threshold, but if thats all your using it for with a black deck thats not smart. Use it with cabal ritual and and living death, boom you got 3 creatures and killed everyone elses, very simple combo.

I saw this card used very effectively in a tourny not too long ago. The guy ran kokusho's and living deads and could very easily take out opponents in in 5 turns.

I love Buried Alive. Use Buried Alive with Dark Ritual and Bog Witch in a Zombie deck. You have to discard a card using bog witch so discard a zombie card. With buried alives, search for Noxious Ghouls and Undead Warchiefs. Use Patriarch's Bidding to bring everything into play killing off everyone else's creatures using Noxious Ghoul. You're the only one with creatures on the board.

This card is great to use in a Goblin deck. You use this card along with Patriarch's Bidding and Starstorm that way you kill all their creatures but when you bring them out with Bidding then you have more creatures from Buried Alive. Also great in a reanimator deck.

This card makes stitch together better than zombify.

One of my favorite cards. Buried Alive/3 Blistering Firecats or Laquatus's Champions/Bathor the Defiled they're done for my friends, of course add Dark or Cabal rituals for extra speed.

Uh, Twilights Call, anyone??

this is a great card-i can dark ritual for one on the first turn and fetch reya and any 2 beasts, then animate dead to grab reya, and the others the next turn. buried alive is great in a reanimation deack, it lets you grab whatever you want to use with a reanimator

Here is the best sequence I have come up with... T1: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Buried Alive to put three Demigod of Revenge into your graveyard. Turn 2: Swamp,
Ornithopter, Culling the Weak(an obscure card that lets you sac a creature for 4 black mana), tap second swamp for fifth mana, lay fourth Demigod from your hand, which brings the three from the graveyard into play, attack with all four. Flying in for 20 on turn 2? yes, please. I have yet to actually get that lucky, but I have a deck that makes it possible. Can't wait 'til the day I get to victimize someone with 4 demigods on turn 2.

Darksteel Colossus says if it would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library. This means it will not work with Buried Alive

With all the ways there are to put creatures from the graveyard directly in to play, this is an awesome card for helping to get those big creatures out fast. To the guy above with the Thorn Elementals, I like the idea, but Shallow Grave only affects the top creature in your graveyard, so you are not gonna be able to finish on turn 2. It will take a couple more turns. I like your thought process, though.

You can simply just bury alive some fatties from your deck into your graveyard, entomb a Sutured ghoul, an anger and revive it for a hasted 10/10 or w/e

This card appears to be a useless card, but in reality it is perfect for a deck such as mine. example: take this card, grab three worldgorger draggons or so from your deck, take animate dead. once animate dead and worldgorger dragon come into play, the game is over for every other player (worldgorger removes all permanents that i control, including animate dead, then because animate dead is removed, the dragon dies, then all comes back, including animaet dead, the dragon comes back, its an infinite combo waiting to happen. in the meqan time throw in some creatures that give damage every time they come into play.

now i know this is a card to get threshold to work but.... im not going to put 3 1/1 cards in my deck to use this, the way i play it i don't need this to get my creatures dead
