Search your library for a nonland card and reveal it. Each opponent who played a card this turn with the same name as that card loses 6 life. Then shuffle the revealed card back into your library.
{B}{B}: Return ~this~ from your graveyard to your hand. Play this ability only during your upkeep.
At first glance this seems like a odd, very narrow card. But I think it could be much more than that. It has to do with this:
{B}{B}: Return ~this~ from your graveyard to your hand. Play this ability only during your upkeep.
The only card in the game I can think of that is so easy to get out of your graveyard to your hand is Squee, and maybe Genesis - so Grim Reminder is a strong option in a deck that likes to discard/etc. for effect.
But what is most important is that it has no stipulation on how many times you can use the 'return to your hand' ability each upkeep, only BB mana. That means you can use it for discard loops repeatedly in your upkeep. In some ways, its actually better than Squee.
In MP, I think it's main ability can actually be quite dangerous as well. In my group I see many common cards appear in many different decks (like Sol Ring), and I bet its primary use would do some surpise instant life loss.
Any thoughts?
