Oracle Text
When this creature enters, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. You lose life equal to that card's mana value.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Phyrexian Delver is a classic value engine for black decks that want to turn the graveyard into a second hand. As a 3/2 for five mana, it is not efficient on raw stats, but the enters-the-battlefield reanimation makes it excellent in midrange and control shells that can afford to trade resources early and then recoup a threat or utility creature later. The life loss tied to the returned card’s mana value matters, so the best targets are high-impact creatures with cheap costs, death triggers, or combo pieces that justify the exchange. In Commander especially, it pairs well with sacrifice outlets and self-mill, letting you stock the graveyard and repeatedly recur value creatures. Because it returns the card directly to the battlefield, it can also rebuy utility like removal bodies or blockers at instant-like pace when blinked or copied. The Phyrexian flavor fits perfectly: a corpse restored not out of mercy, but efficiency.
