A very good common. Probably the most balanced card in terms of this effect. And it was in Kamigawa. Wow.

This cards ONLY drawback is that it has to be YOUR graveyard.

Unless you plan on ressurecting a lot of 2 or less cmc creatures, Zombify is probably the better choice.

Not sure about it being that powerful, just Raise Dead it then pay it's costing cost, same thing unless you are worried about color. Then this could be nice. But again, Zombify would solve that problem too.

@Test-Subject_217601: For those small creatures, Unearth is the card of choice. So one should either use that for the cheap, or something like Zombify for the more expensive ones. (In eternal formats, at least.)
Pity this one wasn't worded so it could work with creatures that have an X cost...but that would probably have looked a bit messy.

You do realize that this is one fourth of profane command, right? In fact this is the most often chosen part of the command. Paying 4-5 to get back a utility creature that does something good when it comes into play (Nekrataal, faceless butcher, shriekmaw, skinrender, puppeteer clique.) is a great use of a card.

It's funny how the converted mana cost works out to be exactly Disentomb/Raise Dead and then summoning the creature normally. Sorcery speed, so no combat trick. I think that means this card's only real purpose is to cheat out off-color things. I still like it though.

Does the card you return to play suffer from Summoning Sickness?

@Threepwud: Yes, it will have Summoning Sickness. Once a creature enters the battlefield, even if it had been there before, it's considered an entirely new permanent and such has Summoning Sickness, triggers ETB effects, etc.

The portuguese version of this card says "(...) from your graveyard to your HAND." I spent years and years of my life thinking this card was a WAY worse version of Raise Dead/Disentomb. Now this card looks way better to me. (I know there are better alternatives, but comparing with the version I was used to know...)

Why is this better than raise the dead or disemtomb?
Because you can play this on their turn and flash in any creature with quicken.

Not terrible in Pauper considering it's your only option to bring back any creature from the graveyard
