Along the Crooked Way
CommentsStandard 37 Eng.DUsr.—
Three mana returns a creature and makes a 1/1 Army, but no supplied Standard shell reliably converts later graveyard exits into enough value.
Could be wrong if Further HOB self-mill, sacrifice, or recursion support could make the recurring amass trigger a real engine.
Pioneer 34 Eng.D-Usr.—
It can recover a discarded Greasefang and leave an Army, but spending three mana to return a card to hand is slow for the deck's plan.
Could be wrong if A resilient black graveyard shell may value this more highly as post-interaction recovery and token pressure.
Modern 23 Eng.FUsr.—
Instant Reanimator wants creatures in play immediately; returning one to hand for three mana is too slow, and the Army trigger is minor.
Could be wrong if A new low-cost repeatable graveyard-exit engine could turn the enchantment into a more meaningful payoff.
Legacy 20 Eng.FUsr.—
Legacy reanimation and graveyard decks demand cheaper, immediate effects; a three-mana return-to-hand enchantment is poor recovery tempo.
Could be wrong if An unusually resilient black creature-combo shell could use its repeatable trigger better than current format priors suggest.
Commander 47 Eng.C-Usr.—
A creature buyback plus an initial Army is serviceable, and recurring creatures grow it further, but one tall token is a modest multiplayer payoff.
Could be wrong if Repeated self-recursion or Goblin/Orc synergies may make the trigger substantially better in specific optimized shells.
Limited 61 Eng.B-Usr.—
Returning a creature while producing a 1/1 Army is reliable two-card value for three mana; later graveyard exits are useful but not required.
Could be wrong if Unknown format speed and removal may make a slow, low-immediate-impact value enchantment either much better or worse.
“A slow creature-recursion enchantment whose small Army payoff needs repeated graveyard movement to become worthwhile.”
