Raise Dead
Oracle Text
Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Raise Dead is one of Magic’s cleanest little graveyard-recovery spells, a single black mana sorcery that trades a card now for a card back later. In gameplay terms, it best supports value-oriented black decks, especially control and midrange shells that expect games to grind and resources to be traded early. Its strength is flexibility: it can rebuy a removal creature, a sacrifice outlet, or a utility threat that already did its job, effectively turning the graveyard into a second hand. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with creatures that have enters-the-battlefield effects, death triggers, or self-discard costs, since getting them back to hand lets you loop impact without overcommitting. It also plays well in discard-heavy builds, where you can intentionally pitch a creature and then reclaim it. The card’s flavor is straightforwardly necromantic—quiet, efficient, and practical rather than flashy, which matches its role as a reliable resource engine.
