Return target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand. You gain 4 life.
Predicted power
Standard 38 Eng.DUsr.

Can rebuy a key land or permanent after removal, but three mana for no immediate board impact is slow; it sits below Erode's 45-level general utility.

Best home Mono Green LandfallBand speculativeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if A revealed graveyard or land-recursion shell could make its broad permanent clause much more valuable.

Pioneer 27 Eng.FUsr.

Three mana and a card merely to reclaim a permanent is inefficient for Pioneer; it is well below Accumulate Wisdom's 35-level fringe utility.

Band speculativeConfidence 65%

Could be wrong if A credible green permanent-combo or attrition deck may want a small recursion package.

Modern 23 Eng.FUsr.

Modern demands more immediate impact than a three-mana card-neutral return effect; it is below Clarion Conqueror's 35-level niche threshold.

Band speculativeConfidence 69%

Could be wrong if An unusually resilient permanent-based combo could value instant-speed recovery despite the poor rate.

Legacy 18 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy's efficient engines and interaction leave little room for a three-mana, card-neutral recovery spell; it falls below Erode's 30-level niche role.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if A future green combo shell that specifically needs a permanent returned to hand could create a narrow use.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 49 Eng.C-Usr.

Instant-speed recovery of any permanent plus 4 life is a useful grind tool, but it is slower and more replaceable than Commander’s Sphere-level broad staples.

Best home Green permanent-recursion decksBand role-playerConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if Its adoption depends on how many matching decks value hand recursion over more efficient recursion options.

Limited 58 Eng.C+Usr.

Rebuying the best lost creature, artifact, or land while gaining 4 life is solid attrition value, though it is card-neutral and weak while behind on board.

Best home Green midrange or graveyard decksBand solidConfidence 43%

Could be wrong if Unknown format speed and graveyard support could move this from slow filler to a stronger synergy card.

Permanent graveyard recursion

“A flexible but card-neutral three-mana Regrowth effect whose life gain matters most in Limited and slower Commander 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.
