Return target creature card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. Flashback {4}{W} (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)
Predicted power
Standard 43 Eng.D+Usr.

It can restore a traded cheap threat and later do so again, but three mana sorcery speed is a substantial tempo cost for current aggressive shells.

Best home Orzhov AggroBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if A strong white-black sacrifice or surveil shell could make the graveyard setup and repeated recursion much more reliable.

Pioneer 27 Eng.FUsr.

The MV-3 cap misses major reanimation payoffs, and a three-mana sorcery is inefficient for Pioneer, though creature attrition decks may test it.

Best home Low-curve creature midrangeBand speculativeConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if A successful white creature-combo shell with essential three-mana creatures could make this a resilient value piece.

Modern 28 Eng.FUsr.

Creatures Toolbox is the plausible home, but returning only a small creature at sorcery speed is slow against Modern's efficient threats and interaction.

Best home Creatures ToolboxBand speculativeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if The card improves if a toolbox list has a crucial MV-3 creature worth recurring through removal or discard.

Legacy 24 Eng.FUsr.

Aluren can value small creatures, but three mana at sorcery speed is far below Legacy's usual recursion efficiency and the restriction is severe.

Best home AlurenBand speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if A white Aluren configuration needing repeated access to a specific three-mana creature could create a narrow role.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 51 Eng.CUsr.

Useful recursion for cheap utility or combo creatures, with flashback supplying a second use, but it is narrower than comparable Sevinne's Reclamation.

Best home White creature-comboBand role-playerConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Its score rises if supported commanders strongly reward repeated creature deaths, ETBs, or sacrificing small combo pieces.

Limited 59 Eng.C+Usr.

Most revealed creatures fit the MV cap; trading back a creature with a counter and retaining a five-mana flashback is reliable late-game value.

Best home White attrition deckBand solidConfidence 39%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed and graveyard support are decisive: fast Limited games can make the five-mana second cast irrelevant.

Small-creature recursion

“A grindy two-use reanimation spell whose mana-value cap and sorcery speed limit competitive adoption outside creature-centric decks.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
