Late to Dinner
Oracle Text
Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Late to Dinner is classic white value recovery: a five-mana sorcery that turns a graveyard into a board presence by reanimating a creature while also leaving behind a Food token for a small cushion of life. It best fits control, midrange, and attrition decks that expect games to go long and can afford to trade resources early, then pull ahead with a single threat. The card rewards careful deckbuilding around creatures with strong enters-the-battlefield triggers, since returning one of those effectively doubles your value; think of threats that draw cards, remove opposing permanents, or make tokens on arrival. In Historic Horizons especially, pairing it with sacrifice outlets or ways to stock the graveyard makes it much better, since you can recur exactly the creature you want. The Food token is not the main attraction, but it helps stabilize against aggressive decks and can buy the turn needed to close.
