NOTES:
Part of my PC for everyone series.

The idea here is that a creature is buried along with stolen treasure.  If grave robbers destroy the Sarcophagus they get back the stolen item, but, also release a Mummy.  And in the case of the upgraded version a Mummy and a curse. (Plague)

I think this should be 7 upped. The Eclipse just makes it too much for me. Otherwise, very good idea.

Seems balanced, basically a high cost defrag that your opponent can opt to destroy in exchange for giving you a mummy.

I'm not sure i got the mechanic of this card. Are you sure you mean "Target permanent"? You said that a creature is buried, so shouldn't a creature be targeted?
Of course a deflag usually is worth the trade to get your own creature back in game but my concern with this card is that not every deck has that option and in that case you can take out any creature you want. I'm sorry i can't recommend any changes but that might be the reason this card won't make it.
Anyway, Eclipse makes thematically and mechanically no sense. The purpose of this card is to delay enemy creatures, so the upped version shouldn't cost more. Increasing the punishment of destroying the sarcophagus doesn't seem right for upgrading this card. I'd recommend to leave out the Eclipse and reduce the cost of the upped version.
Tell me your opinion!

A more fitting curse would seem to be plague and make the upped version less OP imho...

If you think about it, sarcophaguses have trinkets around them. Why not target a permanent?

Good suggestion.  I'll change it to Plague.
