Cheating Death
Hi guys! This is my first contest, so I'm probably screwing up a lot of things, but the basis of this contest is to create a creature that in some way cheats death. I would prefer it to use keywords--especially multiple keywords--, but anything's good.I'm judging mostly on flavor, creativity, and playability; I don't care that much about proper "MTG grammar" because I'm not very good at that myself. I will announce when judging will occur sometime later, depending on the amount of entries. Some keywords I would recommend using are undying, persist, evoke, echo, regenerate, and even tribute under the right circumstances.
Rules:
1. Must be a creature.
2. Must have kid-appropriate art.
3. Must in some way cheat death at least once.
4. Maximum of 3 entries per cardsmith.
Example: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/echo-5
Good luck, and most importantly, have fun!

Also, not an entry for the contest, but I just thought it was really on-theme with the title of the thread: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/grim-riddle
and his token
Crypt Gaurd
A remake using this will be needed eventually:
(1) Leaderless (This permanent can't be the target of spells or abilities you control.)
Call it "reverse hexproof" or "the far-side of shroud" whatever.
Basically, as I'm sure you're all well aware, the keyword is to represent the fact that the creature couldn't care less about--or isn't aware of--the fact that it has a controller.
Could be reworded thus:
(2) Leaderless (This permanent can't be the target of spells or abilities you control. At the beginning of combat on your turn, flip a coin. If heads, this creature attacks a random opponent. If tails, this creature can't attack.)
There may be a way to word it so that "coin flipping" isn't involved but that it is simply determined at random, if there is let me know.
Which version do we like better? (1) -or- (2)?
A new spin on the whole idea of a phoenix reborn. Strongly considering the idea of an RW phoenix commander.

1st place goes to @Faiths_Guide with King Vyle. This was an interesting take on regenerating, and I really liked it. Nice job!
2nd place goes to @Corwinnn with Lysolda, Bringer of Life. This was very interesting, but I couldn't quite understand the flavor. It was still a great card, though.
3rd place goes to @truth285 with Sacred Phoenix. I loved the idea of a red and white Phoenix, because that's what they always are in my head.
Honorable mentions go to:
@fabiocbinbutter with Ryzet, Body of Revenance. This was a nice concept, but it seemed kind of overpowered. I really liked the idea, though. Maybe make an activation cost to his token/graveyard ability?
And @Biblio2 with Ringmaster. His first ability was cool in concept, but it seemed really overpowered.
Congratulations to everyone who participated!
Thanks to @starwars05 for a fun challenge!!
